Snell's walk rate and inability to go 6 innings on many occasions scare me. I would rather get Monty though I'm not in love with him either. Monty and Ryu would be adequate at this point in my opinion. Maybe a trade for Burnes. There are red flags with Snell, no doubt. But the other side of the coin is, with a bullpen like the Yankees have he doesn't need to pitch 6 innings, especially if the Yankees can add a pitcher like Hicks or Hader to their bullpen. The Snell talk has picked up. I don't know if it's just window dressing in order to get teams to lower their asking price for their starting pitchers or if he is interested in pitching for the Yankees.
With all that said, in my opinion, the Yankees shouldn't offer him a contract longer than 3 years.
Three years I might roll the dice. But I doubt if you could get him for such a relatively short deal. Hey, I've got an idea. Let's go back to the reserve clause! Think the Players Union would go along?  |

Monty and Ryu would be adequate at this point in my opinion. Maybe a trade for Burnes. agree on both counts w snell but there's no one out there who's a sure thing (even yamamoto). monty's ok, but don't see him as a 1B to cole - probably a #3. if u wanna quibble about snell's length, monty averaged 5.89 innings while snell averaged 5.625. not even 1/3 of an inning more. ryu's coming back from TJS. see him more as a 3 or 4 if he can come back all the way.
burnes is the guy i like the most, but didn't include him because don't think the brewers who were division winners would trade their ace. they need offense but if you're a contending team, don't think you trade an ace. they don't grow on trees. plus he's a rental and not sure we have enough to get him in any case. YEP! Burnes would be my first choice for the Yankees to trade for, if the price is fair and if he agrees to sign a contract extension. |

Think the Players Union would go along? Snell can probably get a better offer from another team. In my opinion, it would be an overpay per season, but 3 years/72-74 million sounds about right for a good pitcher like Snell that isn't an innings eater. |

Yeah, that's the deal killer right there.  Replacing German on the roster for ugly stick beatings… |

He’ll probably sting somebody for 6/140 or something like that. They can pay for his multiple surgeries and who knows? Maybe get another CYA season out of him… |

True but that power bullpen thing didn't work the last time the Yankees tried it because they got burned out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Adding Monty or Snell would give us three lefties in the starting rotation. I don't necessarily see that as an issue, more an observation. |

I agree, plus the trend has been for longer contracts. This owners just can't help themselves. |
