ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wow, so the Yankees loaned Chapman to the Cubs for a couple months for Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Rashad Crawford, and Adam Warren, and then got him right back. Mastery by Cashman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Cash is consistently one of the smartest GMs in the game. This also means they will be looking to win sooner than 2019/2020. Rick, hit em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwill Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This is good news for the Sox. Now Jansen needs to go to the Marlins. Hopefully, The dodgers will come knocking for Robertson because the closer market will look pretty bleak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:39 PM) Robertson's value just continues to climb with every massive RP deal signed. Not sure if this is a popular opinion, but if the Sox subsidize a Robertson trade w/ money in 2017, theoretically they could maximize their talent return. Payroll is gonna be in the tank anyways so why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm stoked this domino has fallen, and even happier that it's the Yankees. I hope they decide to jump in on Q now, his 4 years of control fits in very well with this 5 year deal to Chapman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 So are the Yankees going to try and compete this year or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:43 PM) So are the Yankees going to try and compete this year or what? Hard telling given the length of the deal. I doubt they push too hard for 2017, but Q makes a lot of sense as a long term asset. They might be interested in Nate Jones to setup Chapman as well.

Black_Jack29 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:45 PM) I think they could've easily won without him They just barely won with him, which would mean that he was a drag on their bullpen, rather than an asset.

Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Best thing that could happen for us is if Jensen signs somewhere other then LAD. Would make a package of Robertson / Frazier more likely and I think in their case a package deal probably maximizes the value we get back. Marlins would be another good option for Robertson and we should be in a position where we actually throw cash along too (given the savings we've had) to maximize talent back (and Fish would be the type of team more then willing to contribute along those lines). Marlins system isn't great, but I'm sure they have the pieces to get Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
