TANAKA IS NEXT, YOU PEASANTS!!

Daaaaaamn! Not a chance in hell they resign Cano.

Either they believe Rodriguez will be suspended for 2014 or the $189 mill budget has been thrown out.

 

[3N16MA]

Cano is laughing right now. No reason for him to take a dime under 200M.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yep. That Ellsbury deal just guaranteed Cano is going to get over $200. The Yankees basically eliminated themselves from re-signing Cano.

2009 Yanks offseason all over again.

 

[clemenx]

I honestly won't believe the 189M thing until I see it. I mean, it's the Yankees.

 

[Blackace]

Nothing is getting through LF/CF in Yankee Stadium.

Combining for 8 hrs

 

[jbug617]

Is this going to be a repeat of when the Yanks signed CC, AJ and Tex all in one offseason?

McCann
Ellsbury

Tanaka, Choo, Beltran and Cano are still out there.

I think they will still want to sign him but have said fuck it to 189.

It's a good thing the draft pick compensation rules have changed since then.

 

[3N16MA]

Contract might have an option for an 8th year.

Don't be a Canadian clown.


https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/408050471853494272

Still does not change he gets 200M or more when he signs. Yanks could give him 9/216.

 

[jbug617]

Rosenthal says there were 4 teams on in Ellsbury. Heyman said earlier the 4 teams he heard was the Red Sox, Yankees, Giants and Mariners.

Ronsenthal also said there is more teams in on Choo and the Red Sox might get in on him.

 

[JABEE]

Amaro needs to step his game up. He's getting shown up. More crazy contracts!

 

[Malo]

Combining for 8 hrs

Gardner hit 8 by himself last year and Jacoby will get a bump from the short porch.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yankees are starting to look like a 90 win team.

 

[jbug617]

More Cano chatter.

@BobKlap: Told #Yankees “still open” to Cano deal, although will be tougher to chisel him down after Ellsbury’s 7-year, $153 million.

 

[dmag1223]

Well Yanks, you can have Phillips if you can't afford Cano now.

 

[JABEE]

Who will be this season's Jays?

 

[Lambtron]

Who will be this season's Jays?

The Yankees.

 

[rando14]

$22 mil a year for bellsbury? wow

 

[Dominican Power]

$22 mil a year for bellsbury? wow

Who will be this season's Jays?

The Jays.

 

[GashPrex]

With the 8th year option, its the 9th richest contract in baseball history

 

[Edwardo]

Who will be this season's Jays?

and the previous season's marlins

 

[BFIB]

Being the Yanks GM has to be the easiest job in the world.

 

[Macattk15]

God damnit.

Mariners are gonna shell out money for Nelson fucking Cruz.

And then I'm going to stop being a fan.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

No way Cano comes back to the Yanks with that Ellsbury contract. Im betting the Yanks go hard after Tanaka and Beltran.

 

[Malo]

This is like the 2009 offseason all over again. Hopefully it has the same payoff.

 

[Nobility]

I just saw the news, I'm in disbelief.

Cano is getting paid.

 

[Blackace]

I just saw the news, I'm in disbelief.

Cano is getting paid.

Disbelief? Basically what was projected for Elly

 

[GashPrex]

Disbelief? Basically what was projected for Elly

The 9th richest contract in baseball history was projected for Ells?

 

[Zep]

Disbelief? Basically what was projected for Elly

Nah uh...Everyone was thinking Werth 7/126 numbers at the most!

 

[jbug617]

Nah uh...Everyone was thinking Werth 7/126 numbers at the most!

Red Sox wanted to use BJ Upton's numbers as a comp but Ellsbury started out with Crawford's contract.

 

[Jubs]

Well Yanks, you can have Uggla if you can't afford Cano now.

.

 

[3N16MA]

Boras still has the magic. Cano would have a 210M deal on the table already if he stuck with him.

Guess it was 5/80 since Sept..which is 16 per

but really him getting this isn't that shocking

 

[jbug617]

Phils made a move

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Phillies announce acquisition of RHP Brad Lincoln from #Blue Jays for C Eri Kratz and LHP Rob Rasmussen.

 

[3N16MA]

MLBTR nailed it at 7/150 early last month.

Amaro doing big things!

 

[slightconfuse]

Yankees signing multiple player instead of cano could pan out well .

 

[The Frankman]

Hey Sandy, you can get in on this too y'know...

There is clearly a rush going on around baseball to close out some negotiations before next week’s Winter Meetings.

“This also usually indicates that GMs see the writing on the wall,” a former league executive told me late this afternoon. “They probably have a sense that certain players are more likely to sign with certain teams than others, so they’re scrambling to lock down trades and signings before it’s too late.”

It’s looking like the trade market is about to dry up, another league source explained, which would suggest we may soon see a crop of overpaid, big-ticket free agent signings during the next few days. Then, teams will regroup at the Winter Meetings and figure out how to play out the rest of the winter.

The way I understand it, in a perfect world, Sandy Alderson would like to either sign a free-agent outfielder and trade for a middle infielder, or sign the infielder and trade for an outfielder. He reportedly still has the money and trade chips available to do this, so I hope this is still the goal. I don’t know if either of these moves are possible any more, but it certainly seems like his options may be dwindling by the looks of today’s news cycle…

 

[Fatalah]

A Gardner-Ellsbury outfield is sick.

Now, what about the Yankees rotation?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

You can expect the Yankees to do this after every season they don't make the playoffs. The last time they didn't make the playoffs, they nabbed Sabathia, Teixeira, and Burnett.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Boras still has the magic. Cano would have a 210M deal on the table already if he stuck with him.

He went to Jigga Man so that he could become a worldwide icon....in Seattle.

Or when they have a shit ton of money come off the books like 09 and this offseason.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

TANAKA IS NEXT, YOU PEASANTS!!

 

[3N16MA]

Sign Cano, Infante, Beltran, Kuroda, and Tanaka. Throw 189 out the window and make the new goal a 300M payroll.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Rockies are close to a 2-year deal with Justin Morneau.

 

[Blackace]

He went to Jigga Man so that he could become a worldwide icon....in Seattle.

He already got like a few million in gifts..

 

[3N16MA]

Gardner is a beast in LF, he and Ellsbury will catch anything from CF-LF. Gardy just has to make sure he does not touch Ellsbury or he might miss the rest of the season.
