Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees Appears Imminent

[LT Profits]

Both sides finalizing terms.

[Chi_archie]

I want a book giving odds on Stanton and Judge to break the 1961 yanks combo of Maris&Mantle 115 combined HR's

also team record of 264 by 1997 Mariners

under all day

[Chi_archie]

under all day

you don't know the juice yet


what if its


Stanton+Judge total>115 +1100

you wouldn't take a nibble for entertainment?

[Sam Losco]

you don't know the juice yet

your right, my point was i just dont see them hitting more

[Sam Losco]

no chance its that high

[lakerboy]

Yanks being irresponsible.

[Chi_archie]

amazing how quick the Yanks went from bottom farm system to top of the line with prospects busting into the majors with full mvp like boners

they made some really savy deals to get young talent at trading deadlines and now they can indulge their former ego add a huge mercenary

[Bluehorseshoe]

Yanks being irresponsible.

They're going to set the record for strikeouts by hitters next year.

[Chi_archie]

Yanks could get Stanton and be responsible, getting under the luxury tax for payroll for 2018 if the deal is worked the right way

Marlins don't want albatross looming over their head until 2029

they might take on some contract heft for the short term (Ellsbury? Castro?)


Yanks get to take advantage of their window of having alot of controlled CHEAP young talent that is a playoff team and Add a top talent to put them over the top.

they need to win in the next 2-4 years before all their youth are getting big ARB numbers and/or hitting FA market

doubt one hitter puts them from mid pack amongst all 2017 teams to all time worst in that category


not that that category has a huge correlation with scoring runs or winning

[jjgold]

Yanks will be devastating

Sell
Outs too Daily

I shouldn't have gone that far, but do you want your 3 and 4 hitters striking out that much? They better be hitting homers.

Castro is going to Marlins as part of the deal

[jjgold]

Yanks dropped to 6-1 to win word series

[lakerboy]

Where will he play?

[LT Profits]

Where will he play?

Stanton Island.

[lakerboy]

Stanton Island.

Lol but seriously.

[LT Profits]

Judge or Stanton (aka, the Borough) in right field, the other will DH

[lakerboy]

I don't like that idea. Can't one move to left field?

[LT Profits]

Need Gardner/Ellsbury add speed to order and Hicks is on verge of breakout year. All are better defensively than Stanton/Judge

[LT Profits]

Maybe one will play left field vs. southpaws

[darrell74]

If Marlins don't get Judge and Sanchez with prospects, commissioner needs to rescind
Double agent Jeter rigging the game for Yankees is so phucked up

Lost lots of respect for Jeter over this

Marlins got Castro and two prospects. It is a salary dump, Marlins are like $40 Million in debt right now.

[Fred The Hammer]

I hope he breaks down!! Sports are supposed to be entertaining and when too much talent is possessed by only 3 teams or so then its not competitive for everyone else? Yes...the Patriots have won 5 SBs, but every one of those was very close. Golden State demolished Cleveland easily last year....very boring. If their health holds up then its the Yankees, Houston, LA, or the Cubs. Nobody else is even close?

[King Mayan]

Can’t believe dodgers didn’t get him

Thanks for the post LT, as always, you still do a great job around here


If that's it, that's phucked up
Jeter is rigging the game-Derek "Cheater" Jeter
Keep him out of the HOF for this bullshit

Realistacally, if its a salary dump, you get Aaron Judge
a mediocre overpaid infielder and two crummy prospects does not equal an MVP with 50+bombs

Manfred needs to step up and call out collusion

[darrell74]

Can’t believe dodgers didn’t get him

thats why I call collusion
Dodgers have a lot of talent they can part ways with for Stanton, and still be contenders
Dodgers love to wheel and deal and work with prospects
Yankees don't have shit, other than Judge-and the Marlins didn't even get him? really?

[Fred The Hammer]

I was just a kid but in 1977, the baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn blocked a trade involving top pitcher Vida Blue to the Reds. The Reds won the WS in 75 and 76 and were loaded with future HOFers. The 76 Reds swept the playoffs....only team ever to do that! Oakland was dumping salaries (like Fla), but it was going to screw up the competitiveness so it was blocked. Stanton, Judge, Sanchez, all those big $ relievers, and an unlimited budget? Thats bs....just like they bought the WS when Arod finally got one.

It's not Jeter. Jeter owns 4 percent of the team. Jeter is a lackey who was brought on to be the face of the ownership. The real guy making these kind of decision is Bruce Sherman. He is a known for gutting companies for profits. He just brought Jeter into his billionaire club so he could take the blame for decisions like this.

A 77 win team gave up the NL MVP for an average MLB player and two low grade prospects. One of them being the second best prospect the astros traded for Brian McCann. That's right, second best prospect for a end of his career catcher turned in to an NL MVP.

The ownership isn't trying to rebuild.

Jeter's hands were tied cause of no trade clause. They had better offers but Stanton needed to be someplace his grinder app was always full.

They will get a far better haul for ozuna or yelich. Not much choice here, they had to move his overpaid ass and between fact very few teams willing to take on that salary then him giving a list of only 4 teams he would accept a trade to he basically sunk them and madd his trade value nil. Typical piece of shit, bury the team who gave you a huge contract by tying their hands.. what marlins should have done is kept him
and dumped everything around him and let him play with dog shit for next 3 years, now that I think bout it that was definitely the move. Woulda been hilarious!!

great move by Jeter

Big payrolls rarely win in baseball now

[eswerve4]

Yankees will still find a way to lose
