What They Get On Other Yankee Blogs

Just in case you thought there might be something else happening out there that is not being covered here...there's not.

Just take a look at this excerpt from NJ.com, quoting Jim Bowden about how the Yanks could work a Nolan Arenado deal:

The Athletic’s Jim Bowden lists eight potential suitors for Arenado. As you probably guessed, one of them is the Yankees:

The Yankees could offer a strong package that includes third basemen Gio Urshela and Miguel Andújar, along with top pitching prospect Deivi Garcia and outfielder Clint Frazier. ... All four of those players would be expendable to the Yankees if they can land Arenado. This type of deal makes a lot of sense baseball-wise. ... Another option could be for the Rockies to offer Arenado straight up for outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, who has eight years remaining on his 13-year, $325 million contract, of which approximately $60 million will be paid by the Miami Marlins if he doesn’t opt-out after this season — and he’s not opting out of this contract no matter what. The Yankees would still have to contribute a significant amount of Stanton’s contract for the Rockies to even consider this type of trade. 

Of course!

Alternatively, the Yankees could trade their entire pitching staff to Barca for Lionel Messi who, with his natural athleticism, could easily learn how to play shortstop by Opening Day.  

Then, Gleyber Torres could be moved back to second, while D.J. LeMahieu could be traded to a re-animator, who would bring to life the rotting corpse of Shoeless Joe Jackson—reputedly, almost a Yankee back in 1915!—who could take over centerfield, provided that enough of his body parts hold together.  

Also, general manager Brian Cashman is reportedly looking into hiring a squad of Super Ninja Space Rangers to kidnap Mike Trout, brainwash him, change his appearance, and put him in the Yankee Stadium outfield under the name of Trike Mout.

But would the money needed to hire the Super Ninja Space Rangers make this deal truly worthwhile?   And how would that affect Trike Mout's waaWL%?
