Considering the price for Ozuna is supposedly considerably lower than Yelich, even if the Phillies don't need outfield help really, I'd jump all over him for the right deal. Especially with Altherr seeming a tad injury prone.
I'd be willing to part with Velasquez for him. Happily.

It's pretty disgusting that Miami literally just put a foot on Stanton's ass and shoved him out the door when he wanted to stay and improve the team. Watching him completely bury them in his press conference was great. The new ownership group is worse than Loria, I don't care how much debt they have to clear. It's kinda Miami's calling card to have a fire sale since a few years ago they did the same thing.

Except this time it's because the new owners can barely afford the team they just bought, and are selling off their best young talent for peanuts. Jose Reyes and Heath Bell were massively disappointing free agent signings; you can't say that about Stanton, Ozuna, or Yelich.

I wonder why MLB approved the sale of the Marlins to the Jeter group if they were going to do a worse job and field a less competitive team?

Chase Headley traded back to the Padres. Salary dump.

Even if the other group won out i still think there would be a fire sale, you don't stand put at over $300 million in debt.

I may be in the minority for Yankees fans, but I don't want us to trade for Manny Machado. It's going to cost a lot of prospects to get him, and he's a free agent after this year. If he won't agree to an extension or leaves as a FA after one year, you traded a lot of guys for a one year rental, and it's even more damaging if you end up NOT winning the World Series.
Even if you DO get him to agree on an extension as part of the trade, or are able to keep him as a FA signing after the season, you still used prospects AND money to get the same guy twice essentially.
If I'm the Yankees and I really want Machado....wait until after the 2018 season and get him for JUST money. No need to risk any part of the future, because you know they are going to be looking at Chance Adams, Justus Sheffield, Dillon Tate, Miguel Andujar, maybe even Gleyber Torres who we need to be our starting 2B now with the trade of Castro for Stanton.
I'd fill 3B for 2018 by either overpaying Todd Frazier in order to keep the deal at ONE year, or maybe one year with an option with a sizeable buyout with the understanding that he's not going to be here next year.....OR, honestly, with the way he's played since leaving the Yankees (especially with the Red Sox last year), I'd bring back Eduardo Nunez. Give him a 2 year deal, and even if you get Machado next year, Nunez can replace Torreyes.
Plenty of thins the Yankees can do to fill 2B/3B for 2018 that DON'T involve ruining the farm system that Cashman has worked so hard to build over the last 2 seasons.
My projected 25 man Roster:
Starting Rotation (I'd go with a 6 man rotation because it will help keep CC and Tanaka healthy, plus Adams will have an innings limit) 1: Luis Severini - RHP (SP) 2: Masahiro Tanaka - RHP (SP) 3: Jordan Montgomery - LHP (SP) 4: Sonny Gray - RHP (SP) 5: CC Sabathia - LHP (SP) 6: Chance Adams - RHP (SP)
Starting 9 (not in batting order, by position) 7: Greg Bird - 1B 8: Gleyber Torres - 2B 9: Didi Gregorius - SS 10: Todd Frazier or Eduardo Nunez - 3B 11: Gary Sanchez - C 12: Aaron Judge - RF/DH 13: Giancarlo Stanton - RF/DH 14: Brett Gardner - LF 15: Aaron Hicks - CF
Bench/Bullpen 16: Austin Romine - Backup C 17: Ronald Torreyes - Backup IF 18: Jacoby Ellsbury - $25 million dollar pinch runner. 19: Tyler Austin - Backup 1B/IF/OF 20: Domingo Germán - RHP (I wanted to pick a LHP, but Chasen Shreve sucks) 21: Tommy Kahnle - RHP 22: Chad Green - RHP 23: Dellin Betances - RHP 24: David Robertson - RHP 25: Aroldis Chapman (Closer)
That's my roster I'd go with. Baring catastrophic injury or massive underproduction....they should be able to do some major damage and would be a serious threat in October.

Evan Longoria got traded to the Giants. The guy raked against the Yankos, so I kind of wish he stayed in the AL East.

I really hope the Yankees don't do this Gerrit Cole trade. He's pretty mediocre and he gives up a sh*t ton of home runs, which doesn't bode well for pitching in Yankee Stadium.
I'm not crazy about him and really don't want to likely lose both Clint Frazier and Chance Adams for him to come here and suck. I'd rather just use Chance Adams as the 6th starter and assume that at some point an injury will happen to an OF and you can use Clint Frazier.
Remember, Brett Gardner is going to be 35 years old before the season is over and is gone after this year, and Aaron Hicks is a question mark offensively.
I don't think it's a good move to trade Clint Frazier or we're going to get stuck with Ellsbury as a starting player again.

I don't think it's a good move to trade Clint Frazier or we're going to get stuck with Ellsbury as a starting player again. I agree. I don't like the idea of Cole for Frazier/Chance.....Cole is average at best and pitching in the NL, he's gonna get rocked at Yankee stadium. Of all the smart stuff Cashman has done the last few years, that would be a dumb trade. They don't truly need Cole....There are enough pitchers hanging around and our Starting 5 is good enough. Severino/Tanaka/Gray/CC/Montgomery. I'm sure there is someone like Jaime Garcia on the scrap heap they could pick up for insurance. I just want them to sign Todd Frazier for a year. Or if they can't work that out, get Moustakas for a year. They need a 3rd basemen. not more mediocre pitching.

The stove is ice cold.
Hard to believe there hasn't been one big name that's come off the FA board by now. Figured Arrieta or Hosmer would've signed somewhere.

Still kinda surprised that news is so dead, though.
