Time to turn the page.... Hopefully no Covid-19 issues in 2021. New York Yankees: One cheaper replacement for Brett Gardner in the outfield The New York Yankees have a big decision to make with outfielder Brett Gardner this off-season. After spending 13 years in pinstripes, Gardner insists that he wants to continue playing for at least one more season with fans in the stands. Gardner is one of those players that is making more than he’s worth at this point, and they could look to an option like Kevin Pillar to replace him in 2021. What would Kevin Pillar bring to the New York Yankees? Pillar signed a $4.25 million deal with the Boston Red Sox this past off-season, and he represented fantastic value for them in the outfield. He finished with a .288 average, including six home runs and 26 RBIs over 54 games, sharing time with the Red Sox and Colorado Rockies. Defensively, he earned a .978 fielding percentage with one error, proving his consistency in that category as well. Having played in the MLB for eight seasons, he has plenty of experience, especially in the AL division. Pillar would be a perfect replacement for Gardner on a much cheaper deal, and they could even extend him for 2-3 seasons if they felt the need. In fact, for what they are preparing to pay Gardner for one season, Kevin could be an option for two. www.yardbarker.com/mlb/articles/one_cheaper_replacement_for_brett_gardner_in_the_outfield/s1_15032_33191417--------------------------------------- Yankees’ prized prospect Jasson Dominguez looks like a monster If baseball doesn’t work out for Jasson Dominguez, perhaps the Yankees’ most prized prospect can give football a shot. The 17-year-old center fielder, whom the Yankees handed a team-record $5 million signing bonus in 2019, looked more like a hulking NFL running back than a baseball player while taking swings in a video shared Monday to Twitter by baseball journalist Hector Gomez. “He’s a rare breed,” his agent Gio Rodriguez said in a recent interview with Forbes. “When he walks into a room, he’s not your prototypical 6-foot-4 ballplayer. He doesn’t look like [6-foot-7] Aaron Judge or [6-foot-6] Giancarlo Stanton. He was a shorter kid who already had a thicker build and just got after it and decided to really build up his body, working on his explosiveness, his core, his legs, his upper body. From an early age, he identified that he needed to bring something else to the table.” Dominguez is listed at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds and seen as the full package, having shown power from both sides of the plate, as well as speed and arm strength. He has been dubbed El Marciano — “The Martian” — due to his physical makeup and otherworldly baseball abilities that have earned him comparisons to Micky Mantle and Angels superstar Mike Trout. nypost.com/2020/10/27/yankees-prized-prospect-jasson-dominguez-looks-strong-as-ever/

I like Gardy, I really do, and have a ton of respect for what he's done over his career, but I agree, he makes way too much for his production, and can be replaced by a better player for a lot less. He wins the sentimentality contest though, so we'll see.

He's the Eli Manning of the Yanks.

correct decision on all three: Britton - is our "real" closer and should have seen more innings this post-season. he was better than chapman Gardy - likeable productive guy throughout most of this career, but that production dropped last season. at his age of 38 with yankees make-up shifting, no reason to keep him on. no more gardy parties here, i wonder if he goes someone else or retires a yankee? Maybe they resign at lower price but with talent we have in outfield I don't see the point happ - bad blood is just too bad from both sides, the thrill is gone and it wasnt coming back

The last thing we need is a 5th outfielder hitting .220 and stealing PT from the hungry and more effective youngsters. I know that this opinion isn't popular, but I would also look into trading Judge for some starting pitching.

I'd trade Judge at this point. And Gary if they can. Resign DJL because if they don't they are idiots.

From what I gather if he does go to another team they will owe us some kind of compensation

It is going to cost them at least 25 million per year to keep him. Personally, I think that he is totally worth the money.

I was thinking something in those lines. 2 years at something like 52ish or 3 at 75. I'll be quite disappointed if they let him sign elsewhere over a few mil/year. He's the one guy I'd have no qualms about.

Hitting .320+ every year and plus defense middle of the diamond is very important. Gardy is out so there is half that. Happ is the other half. Unfortunately it means Judge wont be extended (because of Stanton). Tauchman/Frazier plays LF and German/Schmidt/Garcia take Happs spot.

Yankees should try to trade Giancarlo Stanton to these two teams: Sherman 1. Stanton, $19 million and a prospect to the Padres for Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers. The Padres would save $11 million in this transaction in both 2021 and 2022. The $19 million would make that $30 million extra to spend in 2020-21 when money could go further in depressed markets. 2. Stanton and prospects to the Cubs for Yu Darvish, Jason Heyward and Craig Kimbrel. This one definitely blows up the Yankees’ 2021 luxury tax — but again it is short-term pain, for long-term gain. How much do the Cubs want to lower payroll in the short term (word is a lot)? This saves the Cubs $51 million from 2021-23, including $30 million in 2021. Plus, their underwhelming farm system could pick up a piece or two additionally as a reward for taking on Stanton from 2024-27 ($98 million with the Marlins’ piece removed). 3. Gary Sanchez to the Rockies for David Dahl and Tony Wolters. A change-of-scenery trade. The reputations of Sanchez and Dahl have taken huge hits. For Colorado this would be a gamble for an offense-needy team. The Rockies would hope that outside of New York and in Colorado, where breaking balls don’t break quite as consistently in high altitude, Sanchez will rediscover high-end offense. He costs roughly what Dahl and Wolters would make combined in 2021. 4. Luke Voit and Miguel Andujar to the Marlins for Pablo Lopez. Miami needs offense, but isn’t going to trade Sandy Alcantara or Sixto Sanchez. Lopez averages a strikeout per inning, keeps the ball on the ground and is not even arbitration eligible yet. If the Marlins make him available for bats, they will draw lots of action. nypost.com/2020/11/04/yankees-should-try-to-trade-giancarlo-stanton-to-these-two-teams/

Seriously, trading for him and that contract was one of the most boneheaded things I've seen the Yankees do. I am not sure there are any teams that want to consume that contract. I would do that Sanchez trade in a heartbeat.

I think he would consider the Padres, being a Socal guy. I dont think he waives the no trade though. Padres would be a great fit for him though. They could use his bat.... when he is healthy.

He gets to play defense and also would be playing potentially 81 games in a stadium where he sees the ball very well. The benefits of the deal are there for him and the involved teams. Despite those benefits, I just don't see him waiving his no-trade for San Diego.
