If they go over the tax now in July, it's such BS. The time to do it was in the winter, by bringing Tanaka back and signing some lefty bats.

Move Torres to the outfield and get us a short stop… |

How about the Yanks give their minor league OF's a legit shot instead of playing retreads?

Starling Marte Reportedly Rejects Marlins’ $30MM Extension Offer
Cash should at least call his old friend Kim Ng and Jeter to see if anything trade wise makes sense.
The Yankees, Braves, Phillies, Rays, Reds, Blue Jays, Mariners, Brewers and Red Sox have all received below-average production at the position. A few of those teams (including Tampa Bay, Toronto, Milwaukee and Boston) have viable in-house alternatives that could dissuade them pursuing a center field upgrade. It’s not clear whether the Yankees and Mariners are in position to pursue an impending free agent at the deadline. The Braves’ and Phillies’ presence within the division could present an obstacle to a deal.
While there are potential roadblocks to a Marte trade in any specific case, it stands to reason a few of those center field-needy clubs will be in contact with Miami.

Would imagine Marlins are content letting this play out the next week and a half and see if teams get extremely desperate. My pipe dream is Yanks get Benintendi, but think KC probably wants to keep him.

nypost.com/2021/07/19/there-are-real-questions-about-yankees-trade-deadline-plan-sherman/There are real questions about Yankees’ trade deadline plan: Sherman
The Yankees want to go for it. They are out hunting outfielders, preferably someone who can play center field, if perfect someone who bats left-handed. They have inquired about Miami’s Starling Marte (a righty hitter). They remain fascinated with Texas’ Joey Gallo. They have wondered about Minnesota’s Max Kepler. No team at this time of year completely ignores pitching. After all, the Dodgers added to the deepest rotation in the majors by signing Trevor Bauer in the offseason. The Padres obtained Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove and Blake Snell. Yet due to injury and/or Bauer’s legal problems, those NL West powers are pursuing starting pitching now. So the Yanks would not ignore that market completely — no team truly has enough. But they appear willing to gamble that the pitching answers come internally. With Nestor Cortes Jr. and Jonathan Loaisiga returning from the COVID-19 list. With Corey Kluber, Luis Severino and Clarke Schmidt returning from the injured list. With Zack Britton and Aroldis Chapman rediscovering their best form. The Yankee situation also is complicated by how much they are willing to spend. Hal Steinbrenner has said he would consider going over the $210 million luxury tax threshold. I am dubious. Is he really authorizing going over to pursue the second wild card or in a year in which projection models currently have the Yanks missing the playoffs at least 60 percent of the time? If the Yanks don’t go over, they have, perhaps, $3 million in wiggle room; unless they can free marginal dollars by, for example, including a prospect along with Justin Wilson as they did to trade Adam Ottavino in the offseason. -- Cashman never learns with lack of pitching and Hal is gonna ride his cheapness right out of Gerrit Cole's prime.

Obivously you want the division, but with the how the playoffs have gone the last decade or so Wild Card teams have been successful so I don't see why that would be a bad thing. With Cole leading the rotation he hopefully gets you 2 wins the series and you only gotta scratch out one more to get to the ALCS.

Quickly. Yes… I might even offer that for Max Kepler… |

If it doesn’t put them over the luxury tax numbers, yes. Of course, I’ve never been enamored with Clarke Schmidt. But, I’d much prefer a player like Cedric Mullins than Joey Gallo, who is a heck of an athlete but another guy that strikes out too often. |

But, I’d much prefer a player like Cedric Mullins than Joey Gallo, who is a heck of an athlete but another guy that strikes out too often. I read we were 4 million below the CBT. Gallo makes 6.2 million this year, so prorated it should keep us under the CBT. |

Give me Mullins over Gallo every day and twice on Sunday. Much higher career batting average and his strikeout rate is about 1/2 of Gallo's rate. We just don't need another whiffer.
