As a KC native, I had the same thought.

The Yanks need to work on their SP rotation, among other things already mentioned, 3b, 1B, 2B........

Sorry this thread is just too funny. People commenting about the Yankees and then not knowing much about the Yankees.


They don’t really need rotation help, they need ONE pitcher. They currently have Tanaka, Gray, Severino, Montgomery and then a bunch of pitchers in the minors who will be ready this year.

They don’t need a 1B because they have Greg Bird. They don’t need a 3rd because they have Chase Headley for 2018. And they have the number one prospect in all of baseball(Gleyber Torres) to play 2nd this year.


Also the Yankees are now stacked in the outfield. So they can now package Clint Frazier with another player for a SP.

Severino and Tanaka(at least at home) are great. I think Gray is a bottom of the rotation guy. I'd rather have Sabathia pitching than Gray. Bird is a substandard first baseman at best, and that is only if he can stay healthy. Headley is a weak hitter, with no power or speed, who struggles throwing from third base. This team needs a lot, none of which Stanton provides.

Do we forget this team was 1 win away from being in the world series..

Also Greg Bird is more then a substandard first baseman, when he is healthy he can be very good. The offseason has just started and they can easily get another SP..

And like i already stated Headley is here for one more year and thats all. Plus the yankees have Miguel A who can play third this year also.

Bird can't stay healthy and Headly is HARDLY your answer for 3b. Know your team Brock. And you do need rotation help.

Best team money can buy....

As a longtime Yankee fan it makes it more exciting to watch with both Judge and Stanton in the lineup. No more intentional walks with those two 3 and 4 hitters; Maris' HR record will most likely be broken as a result.

[Orioles1954]

If I'm being completely honest, being a fan of a laughingstock organization (Baltimore) who is not committed to winning makes it extra awful. I'm just in a sour mood. Everyone else in the AL East shows its fans that they give a crap about winning except for the Orioles.

Again headley is here for ONE year and then gone. Plus they have Miguel Andujar that can also come up and play 3rd..

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

Stanton won't win or lose them a championship. Neither will Castro.

Fact of the matter is Cashman who has been brutal and should have been fired by now made some nice deals to load up the farm over the past 600 days. Now they can take on a Stanton while still having 3-4 years of minimum salary big prospects to try to win a ship.

They need pitching yes, however they can pick up a rental before the deadline for cheap, and already have Tanaka Severino and Gray which isn't horrible.

PLUS... you never know if a rookie is gonna come out of nowhere and carry them down the stretch.

As a Yankee fan, let me be the first to say that I am shocked and dismayed at the Yankees organization spending money to bring in big time talent. This is totally unlike the Yankees I grew up loving and rooting for.

[clydepepper]

I was surprised the Dodgers and Angels showed no interest. The Dodgers can definitely afford him and the Angels could definitely use him.

I would have rather him sign with anyone else but the Yankees or the Red Sox. I am sick and tired of every one of their games against each other taking up national broadcast slots. How 'bout the Padres vs. the Rays?


I'll bet that either Stanton or Judge has had his ONLY 50-homer season!

MLB has been terrible for a long time. Glad I've left pro sports and have translated interest to college and high school athletics.

so not true!

As a Yankee fan I love this trade. Simply put, they added an MVP— and remain well-positioned in terms of both the farm system and the luxury tax cap.

The final years of most star contracts are not fruitful for the team, yet the 2018 to roughly 2024 Yankees just improved and I believe a team should strike while the iron is heating up, so to speak— this was a team that fell just short of a division and one game from the WS, so adding an MVP at this cost can only help.

They are an A+ arm, a third basemen (Machado), and a solid Gleyber Torres at second from being very, very solid, on paper. As to Greg Bird, he may very well be the best hitter on the team when the dust settles one year from now. His injury last year was an anomaly and will not recur. He showed flashes of the brilliance we saw all 2017 spring training, after his return. He had a mettle-testing Yankee moment with his clutch HR in the playoffs as well. I look forward to seeing one season-long body of work from that young man.

Of course, the games must be played, which is where the fun is. Will be exciting and entertaining to watch this team for the next several years, as it was last year.

the talent level all around the game is extremely high. So many young talented players, many only in mid 20's or younger.

Generational guys like Trout and Kershaw.

5'6" hit machines like Altuve, monstrous hitters in Judge, Stanton etc...

Top talent from all over the Globe... Japanese Babe Ruth had his press conferene today. The game today is top notch and getting better each year as I see it!
