Secret word is Yanks going after Corbin and Harper to complete their offseason. Corbin in the 4th SP behind Paxtin Severino and Tanaka while Harper is signed to play 1st base. Scott Boras is most likely using the Yankees' name to raise the price of his client. We see this happen every season. The Corbin thing is something I see happening though.

Yankees claim right-hander Parker Bridwell from Anaheim, DFA Torreyes The Yankees on Monday claimed right-handed pitcher Parker Bridwell off waivers from the Angels. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yanks designated infielder Ronald Torreyes for assignment. Bridwell, 27, struggled in limited action with the Angels in 2018, allowing 13 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings for a 17.55 ERA. He spent the majority of the year on the Minor League disabled list with a right elbow injury. www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yanks-get-parker-bridwell-dfa-ronald-torreyes/c-301110130

Are the Yankees seriously trying to bring Cano back in a deal involving Ellsbury?

Are the Yankees seriously trying to bring Cano back in a deal involving Ellsbury? Yeah I heard that on the radio today, I didn’t get the full details. I’m all for kicking Ellsbury the hell out of here, but I don’t want to get Cano’s contract in return.

And it kinda admits Cashmans mistake for not resigning him in the first place. Seems out there to me. I'd like Cano for 2019 though with Didi out.

Also, he has a no trade clause in his contract. The only team he waived it for before the Marlins traded him to the Yankees was the Dodgers. So they would have to be involved some way. I was a big big fan of Cano, he should have been a Yankee lifer, but his contract demands were ridiculous. And now getting nabbed for PED’s makes you wonder if he will completely fall off now that he’s been caught.

Both contracts were ridiculously bad contracts. Both easy top 5 worst in baseball. The no trade claus thing is an issue. As Ive been saying, if they can trade him to the Dodgers, do it no questions asked. This trade was another Arod mistake contract IMO. And that is the only way I would take Cano since all the issues you mention. Honestly, I dont want Ellsbury, Stanton or Cano on this team with those contracts.

Yankees deal Ronald Torreyes to Cubs. Ronald Torreyes, the odd man out on the Yankees after the team claimed pitcher Parker Bridwell earlier this week, has an old new home. The Yankees dealt the 26-year-old infielder to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations on Wednesday. Torreyes was part of the Cubs organization for two seasons before being dealt to Houston in 2013. He had also spent time with the Dodgers in 2015. Torreyes, a popular member of the New York clubhouse over the past three seasons, saw 221 games of action with the Yankees, batting .281 with four homers and 55 RBIs. nypost.com/2018/11/28/yankees-deal-ronald-torreyes-to-cubs/

Patrick Corbin coming to New York to hear Yankees’ pitch. Patrick Corbin and the Yankees will meet Thursday, The Post has learned, to discuss whether a deal between a team that is searching for another starter and a lefty pitcher who has been a lifelong Yankees fan can be reached. The meeting is likely to be at Yankee Stadium so the upstate New York native can see the bells and whistles and what the venue has to offer. nypost.com/2018/11/28/yankees-getting-their-chance-to-recruit-patrick-corbin-now/

Not happy about losing Toe. Such a huge part of that 2017 run. Both big clutch hits and a great locker room presence.
Do you guys think Corbin will be a good fit in NY?
Pitches in a no market NL West with friendly pitchers parks (although I dont think Chase is).
Also, before last year, he had a 4.03 and a 5.15 ERA the previous 2 seasons.
To me, he would be another middle of the rotation pitcher at best.
Hope they dont have ti break the bank for him.

That doesn't appear to be the case.... @ Chase Field : 3.52 ERA WHIP 1.24 Away from Chase: 4.33 ERA WHIP 1.33 Fenway Park: 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA and 2.48 WHIP SSS I think you may want to rethink that...

"Isnt that bad" doesn't equal huge payday to me though. His numbers werent even Sonny Gray numbers. It always just worries me bringing in these NL pitchers to Yankee Stadium... And him getting clobbered twice in Boston doesn't ease it.

It is like when the giants signed Olivier Vernon. He is a good player being paid like an all pro because of the market.

I really wish they went after Eovaldi last year like I wanted them to. Going after him now is going to cost a lot. Theya re ALL IN now for the next 2 years, they have to win it all. So go get your Harper to play 1st base, go get your Corbin, go get all they can.

Patrick Corbin spurns Yankees for $140 million Nationals deal. Patrick Corbin won’t be coming to The Bronx. The lefty has agreed to a deal with the Nationals, the Washington Post first reported. Corbin, who grew up in upstate New York, was a fan of the Yankees and some saw them as the favorite going into free agency. But according to The Post’s Joel Sherman, the Yankees were unwilling to go past a five-year offer for the 29-year-old. The deal with the Nationals is for six years and $140 million, Sherman reported. nypost.com/2018/12/04/patrick-corbin-spurns-yankees-for-six-year-nationals-deal/

Nationals winning bid was 140 million for six years. Yeah, that is too rich for my blood. How about those nationals. Spending all of that money on their pitching staff (Strasburg, Scherzer and now Corbin) without a single playoff series win as compensation.

Who Yankees may target following Corbin deal NEW YORK -- The Yankees took two swings at installing Patrick Corbin as an anchor of their rotation, engaging the D-backs in substantial trade discussions last offseason, then entertaining the free agent this offseason by inviting the lefty to envision Yankee Stadium as his workplace for the next half-decade. According to multiple reports, the Yankees offered a five-year, $100 million commitment to the 29-year-old Corbin, who made New York his final stop on a tour that also included visits with the Phillies and Nationals. Corbin decided to accept a six-year, $140 million pact with Washington, which will prompt general manager Brian Cashman to pivot in his ongoing pitching search. Though the Yankees liked Corbin and vice versa -- the upstate New York native has spoken of his affinity for the franchise, especially childhood favorite Andy Pettitte -- Cashman made it clear that he had other irons in the fire, aiming to upgrade a rotation that he felt was exposed by the Red Sox in the American League Division Series. www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yankees-consider-options-beyond-patrick-corbin/c-301457210

I want Eovaldi.
He can pitch in the AL East, and has been great since his adjustments.
We took a chance on him once, a low risk one, but he got hurt.
He has all the right stuff to dominate, if he stays healthy.
I guess JA Happ needs to be there too.
I dont understand why they only offered a 5 year to 29 year old Corbin, but swallowed hard on Stantons 10 year contract till he is 37-38 years old.

The Yankees dodged a bullet with Corbin . He had 2 good seasons ( 2013-18) Other than that he is a career 4.0 ERA . 140 for that?
DeGrom must be worth 200+ with his career 2.6 ERA
