NOTE: I earlier suggested that Stanton should be on the market, and though kaybli rebuked that he has a no trade clause, those clauses are not always trade stoppers. Perhaps Andujar should be on that list as well...which is going to continue to grow, I believe...I like these players, but the team is in need of pitching...and if Andujar is not going to be utilized at third...is there anywhere else for him?
Tradeable Yankees (doesn't mean we WILL or MUST, but these pieces should be considered)
Stanton
Andujar

Everyone should be tradable (except for people with no value like Ellsbury) in the sense that nobody should be off limits for the right deal. Is there a right deal that would make sense to trade Aaron Judge? Seems impossible to me. Almost any one else I wouldn’t rule it out.
I would not prefer to deal Andujar but could imagine a word where they felt they could sign a 3B and trade him for starting pitching they can’t find on the FA market. That’s the way it would happen if it ever did. The risk of regretting that deal would be high but they’re not going to get a top of the rotation starter for spare parts.

Names: AJ Pollock, Starling Marte, Marcell Ozuna, Whit Merrifield (position change= risk), Nick Castellanos... Note that I’m also thinking of a way to spark and reshape the offense. Not so much boom or bust...LF is one of the few spots we have to work with. Or would we dare to simply try sending Stanton out there every day??? Where does Red Concussion...er Thunder fit into the future plans? On the disabled list, unfortunately. I wish it weren’t the case but they can’t rely on him being part of the roster next year. |

I don’t know how many years we’ve been posting together GF, but it feels like a dozen or so times that one of us has posted that anyone on the roster should be tradeable in the right deal, and the other of us has agreed. I also have no idea which of us has first posted the thought and the other has agreed and vice versa...but this time you definitely first posted the idea and I’m the one in agreement... The winter should be interesting... |

Judge is the only one who is realistically completely beyond the pale (well, if Boston offered JD, Betts, Benintendi and Sale and $100 million I might at least listen.) Not that we would want to trade the likes of Andujar or Torres. But as Reggie Jackson used to say, if somebody offers you enough money, eventually you will eat Alpo. Likewise with players. Probably a bad comparison, but after a couple of gin and tonics it seems more logical. |

Conversely, I would also suppose that eventually, if you had less and less money you also might willingly consume Alpo...
I have no idea what that has do do with any of this, but it seemed like something I should point out...

Al Po was a good friend, and I'll not have him slandered. He's been through enough.

If they honestly are considering both of these guys, I agree with you. Lefthanded bat, plus having him for more of his prime. Either contract will eventually be an albatross so they either make their peace with that or they don't. |

I agree with you. If the Yankees were able to get Blake Snell for Andujar--or some other top young pitcher-- they'd do it in a heartbeat, and sign Manny to play 3B. Andujar might make a very good corner outfielder, in the event he's not traded.. In any event, I'm a Harper guy. Manny's great, but Harper's LH bat in Yankee Stadium? Let him play 1B for the next 8 years. FWIW, I think the Yanks should look into acquiring Scooter Gennett from the Reds. He'd make another good LH bat and he could play 2nd while Torres covers for DiDi. |

I have to admit, the one downside of signing Machado over Harper is that it would make a right handed dominate lineup even more right handed, since he would be replacing Didi. If the Yanks sign Harper, would you rather see him in LF or 1B? His best position would be RF, but Judge isn't changing positions. |
