I don't trust Porcello at all when he takes the mound. Too much of a nibbler. Sounds like all of our starters... lol I was a little surprised hearing about Bogaerts though. That's just talk. No way they will trade Bogaerts. JBJ is more likely but still probably not happening. No reason to dismantle this team. I believe the talk about Porcello though. He's a weak link in our rotation.

Looks like the deal for JA Happ is a 2 year deal, with a 3rd year vesting option based on innings pitched and results. Thats an awesome deal for the Yankees. Only 2 years is perfect.

I wonder if Cashman will still try to land another starter, or is he finished and will only look for relievers at this point? Tanaka, CC & Paxton may only give you 450 innings between the three of them, so they may look into a potential 6th starter for the staff.

Plus Chance Adams and Domongo German are still cheap options. I think they focus on relievers now. Britton-Robertson-Ottovino-Miller ect. They need to find a lead off hitter IMO.

Yankees set date with Manny Machado as sweepstakes begin.... (This Wednesday). Manny Machado and the Yankees have a meeting scheduled for Wednesday in New York, where the very talented but controversial infielder will get a chance to explain his questionable behavior during the postseason, when he was accused of being a dirty player and foolishly admitted hustling wasn’t part of his skill set. nypost.com/2018/12/16/yankees-set-date-with-manny-machado-as-sweepstakes-begin/

This is honestly, no doubt, 100% the shittiest baseball stadium I have ever been to (been there 4 times), and the last time was about 2 years ago. Every time I go, it seems to have gotten worse. And now this... Rays officially terminate negotiating window for new stadium www.draysbay.com/2018/12/18/18146765/rays-terminate-negotiating-window-new-stadiumThe main bullet point I heard for the Rays sticking it out was the new stadium in Tampa. Now that is off the board. I just cant understand how that team can operate another 10 seasons in that dump with no attendance except on Yankee or Red Sox weekends.

The lack of a new stadium will pretty much send the Rays out of that area and into either Portland or Montreal. It isn't a matter of if but when. The Trop is a horrible place to play baseball.

Exactly. Low attendance, terrible stadium, awful location, and a logistical nightmare. They only made it this far hanging on to the $900m downtown Tampa dream stadium from the taxpayers.

Manny Machado spotted leaving 90-minute Yankees meeting. Manny Machado has visited the Bronx many times in his career, but never quite like he did Wednesday. The free agent had his long-anticipated meeting with the Yankees two days after he began his tour with the White Sox in Chicago. General manager Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and CC Sabathia were among those who arrived at Yankee Stadium shortly before Machado was driven inside at 12:30. Machado left around 2. nypost.com/2018/12/19/manny-machado-spotted-leaving-90-minute-yankees-meeting/

So who do you guys prefer, Harper or Machado? Neither.... but out of those 2 Harper for sure because he is a lefty and not as much of an asshole as Manny. But by the looks of it they want Manny and he is a better fit for the team with Didi out. Where would Harper play? 1b? Our lineup will get shut down by RHP though.

I'd prefer Manny....as a Sox fan of course. He's impossible to root for and easy to hate. And we already hate him so it's a perfect fit. he's taken a season and a hlaf from Dustin Pedroia's career.
He's dirty and he doesn't play hard. That's a terrible combination.

He is dirty, but the fact that RS fans hate him makes me want him a little. Lil Pete is just old and broken. Off the Papi juice since he left. To say Manny doesnt play hard is a bit off. He is a top gold glover in the game in the infield. That requires a lot of hard work. Does he run out ground balls that are expected outs? Nope. So he would be like another Gary Sanchez I guess in that aspect. My fear is, once he puts on the pinstripes, like it seems everyone else, he will try to hit HRs every at bat and lose his .300 batting average. Id rather he hit less HRs and had a higher OBP. Yanks need more OBP guys than anything. They still dont have a true leadoff guy to set the table. Andujar is the best pure hitter on the team IMO and all the rumors are swirling they want to trade him. Nuts to that.

Thats what I said. Its ridiculous. So what he isnt the best defensively at 3rd. Big deal. His fielding is good, its the throwing motion that hurts him. Thjats fixable. Kid is only 23. But that bat is SPECIAL. Not so far off of Manny Machado's bat to be honest. Machado was a double machine when he came in the league, and so is Andujar. Im not trading him and getting Manny when they have Andujar for 5 more years on the cheap at age 23 but would have to give Manny $30m a year for 10 years. Its crazy. The Yankees lineup needs a lefty. You cant have Judge, Machado, Stanton, Sanchez, Andujar and Torres all playing and hitting after another if Hicks is leading off. I still dont know who the 1B is either. Luke Voit? Another RH bat with power? Come on... Id rather trade for Scooter Gennett and play him at 2nd and Torres at SS and Miggy at 3rd.

There are plenty of minor leaguers who can field. When Wade Boggs came up with the Sox he was a terrible 3rd baseman. He worked his ass off and became a golden glover. Looking to trade a kid like Andujar because he's stinks at third is an act of lunacy.

Yanks should be going after Harper not Machado. Hicks has one year left, Gardner is old, and Frazier is a question mark. Harper is left handed and is an asshole. He would be a perfect Yankee.
