Feels like 2019 is set to me unless there is someone out there that they think can help over the next couple years as well.  Otherwise, if we do add this year it will be a pen piece on the cheap.  

yep, i have no remaining expectations.

Given the interest in him, I’d be surprised if he cost less than Marsh or Jones.Who knows, they might even ask for Canning. I really don’t want to give up any of those guys.

Am I exaggerating what New York would settle for? I’m no expert, for sure. 

I definitely don't think he would cost one of those guys. We are probably looking at a return of one mid-level prospect or two lower-level types. Look at it this way if Sonny Gray signed a one-year deal right now it would probably be somewhere around $14M so at most he has about $5M in surplus value at his current $9M salary. That isn't much, he shouldn't cost a lot.

If I were the yankees, I'd want a solid bullpen piece and a low level prospect with high upside.  

The Yankees need bullpen help? Who knew???

Chapman thru 2021. Britton thru '21 or '22. Ottavino thru '21. Betances thru next year. Kahnle. Holder. Who am I missing?

They are loaded to the gills.

What do you mean “this”? That sentence doesn’t even make sense

I didn't understand it at first either, but then I read it again a couple more times and realized I agree with it 100 percent.

That bullpen piece would have to be pretty darn solid to make their pen. They are loaded from top to bottom.

If the Reds are hypothetically trading their #6 and #7 prospects plus a draft pick I am glad we avoided Gray, that is way too much in my opinion.

The Reds have gotten bent over backwards this off season.   Sure they’ve improved the major league team but are they close to the Cubs or Brewers?

or the Cards.  

the pirates could actually still be better than them.  

they're gonna lay out 5 prospects for a year of puig, kemp, wood, roark and gray.  

when another team does something like that it reminds me of how that could be the alternative for the halos.  

it would essentially be like giving up Suarez, Chris Rodriguez, Regifo, Maitain, and Thaiss.

Deal done!...   https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-trade-sonny-gray-to-reds/c-302890072?tid=282421090

 

Gray who signed a 3 year/30M extension & RP - Reiver Sanmartin   For OF - Shed Long #8  Prospect.....

 

Yanks then sent Long #8  to the M's for Stowers #11

[Docwaukee]

Long flipped to Seattle for Josh Stowers.  2nd rounder in 2018.

I wonder if theyre planning to flip those guys at the deadline for even more prospects. How was their farm before all this?
