Jake Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Yeah I'm thinking that's Nightengale speculating on a price tag for Robertson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. Optimistically you'd want to hope this come from knowledge that there are some already on the table. But maybe even it's coming out of Nats saying they would have had to give one up for DRob? Weird timing and content. I don't feel like you see a prediction that explicit (top 100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they think they can get it. Tweet we received: Sox will get at least one top 100 prospect for Robertson. This just after good but not top 100 guys were traded for 2 good bullpen guys. Just weird.

The price tag for hand is very high, making Robertson an attractive piece, especially if the sox kick in any cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yankees with interest in bringing D Rob back...Wonder what kind of return we'd be looking at? Something like Mateo or Andujuar + a pitching prospect like Abreu or Tate. Or is that not enough? I just can't see us getting Torres/Frazier/Rutherford for Robinson. But maybe an outside shot at Rutherford. Something like Mateo, Abreu, + another prospect in their 20-30 range would be more than enough for me.

Did you not see what the Nats had to give up for TWO solid backend pieces? We arent going to get that good of a return. Robertson is not Chapman or Miller tier.

We arent going to get that good of a return. Robertson is not Chapman or Miller tier. Our GM, however, is 10x better than what they have over in Oakland. Nightengale's tweet, also, was reassuring.

I think if Robertson goes to the yankees we're looking at a return like this Sheffield/Florial/Mateo/Andujuar + Nick Solak. I wouldn't be against buying into Mateo's resurgence at AA and Hostetler and company love Louisville and the type of player Solak. With the opening Mendick's promotion has created Solak makes a ton of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Ehhh I think Florial or Mateo is probably the best we can do from the Yankees. Maybe a Frazier + Robertson package to the Red Sox would get Chavis + a lower prospect. The Doolittle/Madson trade is a real headscratcher and it makes me question whether there's much of a bullpen market right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge market, as there often is around deadline time. Oakland just dropped the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
