I can't believe Cashman would make a statement like that in public, even if he believes it's true. Maybe he thought it would make it easier for Stanton to give up his NTC, but a more likely impact is that it probably puts the Yankees out of the running for Yamamoto. Hard to imagine that Wolfe would steer him toward the Yankees after that. Cashman really does seem to be having a meltdown. He's in full Magoo-mode. Cashman is starting to believe that he was responsible for the last Yankees' dynasty, simply because he was elevated to the GM chair in 1998. To borrow a phase from Barack Obama, "You didn't build that, Magoo." Cashman is probably one of those guys who always puts out the cheap wine for all guests, hiding all the labels, and drinking the good stuff alone in a closed room, a la Richard Nixon. |

It just seemed counter-productive and not in the team's best interest. I'd think even Hal would be aware of that. I actually took Obama's statement as an insult to people who did build things. |

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nola was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and played baseball at LSU. He's only 30, and he's pretty much a lock to give you 150+ innings. I'd prefer Yamamoto, even if he is an unknown at this point - much more upside. And, I love the splitter as an out-pitch. When Nola is in a groove, he's a thing of beauty. But he goes through long funks which I think might make him risky for the Yankees. He tends to get upset when the breaks go against him. I could be completely off-base, but I'm not sure he's a good match for New York. Just based on what I've read, I'd just as soon throw in our lot with Yamamoto. |

I did, too, but I thought it fit perfectly in this case. |

Yankee fans dreaming about Soto while Cashman is trying to deal for players like Manuel Margot.  |

Cashman singing: I’m dreaming of a White left fielder Just like the one We used to know May we find a cheap Gardner And play him out there And then our left fielder Will be white. (And cheap cause he’s under rated)… <or heck, maybe we could get another Roy White>… that’s white, too. I just want ####### cheap!… |
