Edwin Encarnacin has been traded from the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. Encarnacin currently leads the American League with 21 home runs. The Mariners teardown is in full bloom and the Yankees get another big bat.
That makes no sense. Another right handed hitter that will eat up the DH spot? With Stanton coming back next week? If this is true, Id have to think this is a prelude to another deal?
play? Does that mean that Frazier and somebody else going for a big time pitcher?
Hes strictly a DH at this point.
The strangest part of it, to me, is that AT A MINIMUM (as in least severe case) it tells me Frazier is being traded AND they have every intention of using Stanton as the everyday LF.
Looks like it's mostly a salary dump. I have a hard time believing the Yankees were the only team willing to eat the rest of his contract. But I guess that must have been the case.
7m
So I am trying to do the math on this incredible acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion by the #Yankees and GM Brian Cashman. So if Encarnacion and Voit share 1B/DH then Judge Stanton play the corners, Hicks in CF, Gardner 4th OF....then Frazier gets Bumgarner or Stroman?
I don't know why but I think Stroman makes the most sense for the Yank
3m
Yankees arent dumb. They know they need pitching. Knew it long ago, like everyone else. Series of moves coming, just like every summer. The picture will become clearer at some point. Right now, absolutely its fuzzy.
RE: I don't know why but I think Stroman makes the most sense for the Yank
s. He's the youngest 'stud' out there. Plus he's a NYer who'd love to be a Yankee.
I hate to give up Frazier for anything. But, Stroman wouldn't hurt as much as a (potentially) washed up ace.
Stroman for Fraizer would make me barf. Sell me on Stroman never seen him more than just another guy.
To me, Stroman is a bit like Big Maple. He's not a perennial top 5 Cy Young guy, but he's a top 2 of any rotation guy. We already have 3 top 2 guys on our team (Sevy, Maple, and Tanaka). Adding Stroman would make the top of the rotation DEEP.
He's a career 3.6 FIP 3.8 ERA 111 ERA+ and he's ascending still. And he's pitched in the AL East his whole career, so not as much projecting needed.
But never would I have thought Stroman could be a perennial cy young finalist regardless of his FIP.
Idk guess I'm just annoyed that they'd have to give up young talent when they could of just signed Kuechel a couple of weeks ago.
19 years old. Numbers look impressive. https://www.baseballamerica.com/players/91850/juan-then/ - ( New Window )
Just to put some perspective on this trade- the Yanks got Then (and another A ball pitcher, JP Sears) from the Mariners for Nick Rumbelow- who just got DFAd the other day.
Since Then is now going back to the Mariners, the trade becomes EE and JP Sears for Rumbelow.

If teams would be wise and avoid dealing with Cashman, the league outside of the Bronx would be a lot better off. But he somehow get these deals done, like the series of deals with the Cubs that got us Torres for a Chappy rental and then we go back out in FA and bring Chappy back. Cash is the GOAT of having his cake and eating too.

I get all that rather Yankees hold on to Frazier. I'd hate to trade him to the Jay's and see him turn into something and beat us up 18 some or so times a year. If it were any other team might learn to live with it but Jay's would be tough.

have come here and floundered? Who knows now if Paxton is still hurt or a head case as well?
Stroman is probably a little less regarded then Gray while he was in Oakland. He does have the AL East experience, perhaps someone can look into his records against the Sox and Rays.
The point is, we have no idea how he will perform in NY. I wouldnt be comfortable trading Frazier for him, now Voit I wouldnt mind.

Why is Paxton a headcase? Where the hell would you come up with that. Guy had a 0.90 ERA in Yankee Stadium until the last game. Might be he is still sore, but I see no problem with Paxton.

Voit seems more like a guy I'd want as an everyday starter than Frazier. Frazier might be a higher ceiling guy, but Voit has better intangibles.
And I don't know about your Stroman/Gray comparison. Stroman has been better regarded than Gray ever was imo.
RE: How many pitchers have gone to Houston and flourished and how many
trying to stretch another inning out of a guy and then have to yank him after getting two men on and no outs. He seems to do it often.
Maybe they are stretching Cortez to become a starter???
Frazier is younger and has a position. I guess Frazier at RF is a
push with Voit at 1B. But one of them has to go with the addition of Encarnacion.
Paxton should turn it around, lets hope anyway. But I am expecting him to pitch better at NY then he did at Seattle.
Stroman and Gray are probably on the same tier, but I dont know how anyone can be confident he will definitely deliver here. One thing I know though, his constant fidgeting on the mound would annoy the hell out of me.

I agree. He doesn't do it often. But every so often I get a "what's he still doing in there" feeling like with Cortez in the 8th tonight...

I was searching for a word other than "often." But he does it enough that you notice it.
To say Encarnacion will be the DH hes played and outstanding first base this year. Voit could be the DH
Good call.
Voiit 44 games at first base this year 4 errors.
Encarnacion 45 games at first base this and 2 errors. Lets see what happens and how they use them. You probably dont even watch any team besides the Yankees

Two ways to look at it:
1.) Voit being the future will get plenty of time at 1st to get better in the field. Cannot improve fielding on the bench.
2.) Encarnacion is the better glove man and will get most of the time in the field.
In any event, I do not think Edwin is on the team next spring.
5 mill. buyout on EE's contract for 2020.
I wouldn't be overly concerned who is going to play
1B more, they both will get their time there.
Neither is going to win a gold glove anytime soon.
Looking at errors made doesn't always tell the
entire story, about how good a defender is.
Hmmm, good sign. And I saw 97-98 tonight. Even better.
Love to see Green look good. When he's on, he's a weapon out of the pen.

Cameraman missed it. Dead center smack.

I don't like them trading frazier because i think he should be the everyday LF next year but that is what is going to happen
Said he plays 1B also. If Stanton wasn't doing well and Judge starting to play, I'd be worried about them not being healthy.
because they suck ass and want to rebuild.
Love when the cost is some guy I've never heard of.
If he can swing Stanton into something nice that would be Jedi mind trick level Cashman 3-d chess...
Quote:
or maybe it frees them to send Bird/Voit for a starter somewhere?
Possibly free someone for pitching help. Doubt Bird or Voit. No one is trading much for Bird, and Voit has been a big piece in the Yankees lineup.
Seriously moving voit doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

Judge 9
Stanton 7

Voit 3
Hicks 8
Encarnacin DH
Gregorius 6
Torres 4

Gleyber Torres, who may well be their No. 9 hitter, came into today hitting .285/.338/.515 with 14 home runs.
