Trade Garrett Richards

[HaloRed]

Seize this unique season moment's opportunity with playing upon that heated battle between NYY and Boston fighting for that division and the best record.

Garrett Richards couldn't be more valuable to NYY.

Possible Trade?:

Richards and Kinsler for Torres and Gray

Why would they do this trade ever in a million years? 21 year old 2b who is arb eligible and Sonny gray who for the most part is a wash with Richards. So essentially you're doing Kinsler for Torres? You sound like a guy in my FFB league LOL

Gonna take a helluva lot more to get Torres than Kinsler, even if we throw in Richards. And Gray is a train wreck of a pitcher now.

LOL.

Might as well as throw in Judge too.  Yankees need to open up a spot for Frazier anyways,

If the Yankees we're to eat most of his contract, I would take a chance on Jacoby Ellsbury, and ask for bullpen prospects.

We need a bridge to Adell and Marsh.  Ellsbury is done after 2021.  I would only take Ellsbury if he came at a reasonable price.

[Angel Oracle]

Post-DL Calhoun >> Ellsbury and that contract.   I can't see the Skanks eating most of his contract, maybe part of it.

Adell should be ready by ST 2020, and then Calhoun can walk.   

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Gray is going to be headed back to the DL for TJ surgery in 3....2....1..... Hurry! Do it~

 

 

Oh, and btw, we need to sell high on Ward Quickly! Before he becomes our starting 3Bman putting up Mathis type #'s for 6 years~

Would only happen if Dipoto was the Yankees GM!

I would take Ellsbury for about 5-7 million a year.  We can hope Adell is ready by 2020, but not 2019.  If Adell is the starter in 2020, Ellsbury would be a great veteran 4th outfielder.  You're probably right by saying the Yankees wouldn't eat that much of the contract for a Richards rental.

None of that would be necessary if we move Cozart to right field next year, start Fletcher at second, and have Taylor Ward and Jose Miguel Fernandez compete for thrid base.

That would be great if your goal is to achieve a cumulative 1.5 WAR out of three positions.  Great plan.

Richards under control for this and next year (with .5 mil buyout option).  He was very impressive in Seattle his last start, and we are nearing the deadline in 3 weeks.  If he continues to gun toward it, it is peak time to trade him as quite the chip. 

I only threw Torres in as possible Eppler demand return while we need a 2B.  The Cubs are faced the same between Addison and Machado.

Say what?

[disarcina]

I agree - trade Richards now.

Get some great young prospects for him.

the fact that he is under control next year just makes him that much more valuable in a deadline deal.

I like RIchards, he's our ace - I guess - right now - but it's a business and the Halos are not gong anywhere this year and need to re-tool.

He’s a FA after this season 

[Dick B Back]

Put down the bong people before you post inaccurate crap.

[disarcina]

OK - I was going by the prior post.

All the more reason to trade him if we can't sign him for next season.

will not get the same value as a rental as opposed to a starter signed through next season...........but we should deal him at deadline time to someone like the Yankees and get the top value we can get -- a pitching prospect or two.

[ettin]

Sign him to an extension. Or trade him and sign in the off-season.

[HaloRed]

My mistake, went to Cots and read off Valbuena's above him. He's a free agent next year.  That takes his value down. 

[HaloRed]

Do they send them and try to re-sign him in the off-season, then?  The NYY payroll is pretty much hamstrung of re-signing Richards with Stanton, is it not?
