Swapping Cano for Ellsbury probably makes the Yankees worse, not better. What was the point of this signing if they can't keep their biggest bat?

 

Also getting McCann and pursuing Stephen Drew and Omar Infante, things that probably aren't possible if they are spending on Cano. That is, unless they know something about the ARod case that we don't...

They claim the still have room for Cano. Makes me think that they are expecting to not have a certain 3b on their payroll next season due to suspension.

Somehow if they lose Cano, those signings don't impress me at all. Between losing Cano and losing guys from their pitching staff, they'd be spending a whole lot of money to barely tread water in a tough division.

I had thought the theme of the Yankees off-season would be able to get under the luxury tax - was that just wrong, or does signing McCann / Elisbury / Cain somehow still work?

Maybe more to come.

 

A source tells Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (on Twitter) that the Yankees not only believe they've got room for Ellsbury and Robinson Cano or Shin-Soo Choo, they still plan on signing at least one starting pitcher as well.

The A-Rod suspension is one of the best things to ever happen to them

Yep. As soon as they can, they will move to void that contract, and the next legal battle begins. Arod's team has been laying a defense for that all along. This isn't about the suspension, it is about protecting the last four years of that contract.

Guess I'm one of the few who thinks Ellsbury will age really well. Glad the Sox didn't sign him, but that's a fine deal and I expect him to earn his money.

 

I agree with you, I think Ellsbury is going to be a very good player for years to come. He's going to kill with that porch in RF.
