The deal with McCann is reportedly worth 5 years and $85 million. Yeah, no thanks.

 

A lot of us feared for worse. To me, his bat hasn't been quite good enough for me to believe I want him as my DH in 3 or so years.

He's a .350-.360 wOBA guy at the catcher position, which is reall good. But if you put that at DH, that's not worth anywhere near $17 million a year.

The Yankees and Brian McCann have agreed upon a five-year, $85 million deal, per Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

 

The deal also includes a vesting option for a sixth year that could bring the deal to $100 million. McCann has been a top option for the Yankees since the outset of free agency, so it's no surprise they got their guy. The 29-year-old hit .256/.336/.461 with 20 homers in 102 games in 2013 and should improve on those numbers in his new digs.

 

Per Rotoworld

 

Deal looks like it is done.

Can we trade for Gary Sanchez please?

 

Not sure how realistic it is that the Yankees will trade Sanchez at this point, but they do have a kid named JR Murphy who slashed .280/.359/.439 between AA and AAA last year. May not have the pedigree of Sanzhez, but seems ready to contribute fairly soon and could be a guy we get as part of a package.
