Jake Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 So you're telling me the Yankees will sign McCann, Stephen Drew, and Omar Infante AND sign Cano? Sounds like they might be moving on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian310 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) I hope we trade for a young catcher. Not really liking the free agent options. I would rather see AJ back on like a one year (+ team option for '16) than to sign Saltalamacchia for more than 4 though.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'll bet Salty is happy right now. This just raised his asking price no doubt and pretty much negating any chance of the Sox signing him (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 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.

Balta1701 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That's not a bad dollar amount for him and he absolutely needed to come to the AL where he could DH sometimes. I'd have paid that if I were in Hahn's chair and I had a $125 million budget and the ability to win this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think they're hoping to plug him in when McCann is transitioning to more of a DH role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
