JDsDirtySox Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 • Swish-hitting: In the meantime, the Braves seem to have emerged as the club most interested in Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher. But there are indications the teams got hung up when the Braves asked the Yankees to eat some of the $22.05 million Swisher has coming over the next three years -- and got turned down flat.

caulfield12 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Nady seems like the more logical one to go...because he's a FA at the end of the year. I do think they would prefer to trade Swisher, since they don't seem to have much of a desire to play Nick in CF and 1B is a bit occupied again.

They have no where to play him and his contract is no longer seen as affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got too many corner outfielder/1B/DH guys with Tex, Damon, Nady, and Swisher, Matsui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
