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%?
Remember, keep clicking on this space for such truly useful rumors and speculations, cadged from another website that also has no idea what's going on!
ReplyDeleteI know Hoss is just having fun here, but the Reanimator idea might have some merit.
Perhaps that approach can be applied to GStanton...
Why is everyone so quick to throw Giancarlo away? He will be the top Yankee producer this year. People act like he has so little value but, the man is a monster and we'll be glad to have him in 2020.
ReplyDeleteYep! He'll be lifting those cheerleaders left and right! He's ready!
DeleteTentigers, your faith is admirable. Misplaced, but admirable.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Stanton probably will be the top Yankee producer this year...that plays less than five games due to injury.

I shall keep clicking, Hoss. I shall.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JM, tentigers: your faith is impressive.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I wrote: I wish Mr. Stanton nothing but record-breaking, unadulterated success in 2020. The sky is the limit—just as long as he leaves afterwards.
But alas, Brett, I'm sure your prediction is more accurate.
I am just waiting to hear how Stanton's model-lifting has led to an unexpected muscle tear that will keep him out until at least 2021.
Remember: I called it first!
Wait a minute, Hoss....anyone who mentions a straight-up, one on one trade of Giancarlo for a super star, is not stupid.
ReplyDeleteOnly delusional.
I dream of such delusionality. ( you won't find this word in any of your books ).
Delusions like that one keep me afloat.
Getting rid of Giancarlo by any method, works for me.
Please ask Tentigers to meet me in my attorney/s office.
ReplyDeleteI may have a bridge to sell him.
It is good to know that that there are still some people who can ignore the truth, and believe in fairy tales.
I don't care if we have to eat Stanton's entire salary to get rid of him. We're better off without him. Don't forget how he ended up screwing us over in the Houston playoff series by coming back from his injury and then getting re-injured again. We were playing a man short for a couple of games. Genius Cashman decided to play a man short in hopes that Stanton would make it back in that short series. How did that work out? Why are we always playing one or two players short? And now apparently someone reading this blog believes that Stanton will have a big year in 2020. The world is full of delusional people.
