Christian Arroyo heading to Tampa Bay as the centerpiece. Giants number 1 prospect

Denard Span, Matt Krook (25th ranked Giants prospect), and Stephen Woods (29th ranked Giants prospect) also going to Tampa.

I'd argue Ramos is their #1 prospect.

Arroyo is a bit of a tweener. Maybe Miller will teach him the art of the launch angle though.

This deal is ruining my Christmas

I hate Cole, he is a crash and burn in NY waiting to happen

This team is more than prepared to be in a pennant race in July as is

Re visit your options at that time if you need a starter

It will absolutely not be Gleyber though, that much is for sure

It's Frazier, but the secondary pieces worry me

Sheffield?
Chance Adams?
Andujar?


I'm sickened by this 4.98 ERA waiting to happen

Cashman falling a little too in love here with the "controllable years"

Pitt is nuts to turn down Frazier and any one of those 3 for Cole.

Give them Freese too so they have a cheap 3B for the year to replace Frazier and call it a day.

Harrison is a nice get.

Great flexibility, very reasonable contract.

That makes this deal make much more sense to me from the Yankee side.

And I would not argue against that. Pre-trade, I would accept anyone putting Arroyo, Shaw, Beede and Ramos in any order at the top of rankings. I personally had Ramos at #4, though, because he is so far away. A LOT can happen in the next 3-4 years while the other 3 should all graduate THIS YEAR.

Totally reasonable. If Beede had shown a bit more control he'd probably be the clear cut #1 right now.

agreed.

You want an infield prospect, trade Cutch somewhere.

One thing stuck in my mind about Cole is that one WC start he had and got shelled, and his body language was so awful like "Dont give a shit"

Thats forever etched in my min

Still think Cole would be a good pickup for the Yankees and help solve their pitching woes.
