Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m Source: McCann close with #Yankees on five-year deal for more than $80M.


We could have done this.

what is going on?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

That better happen fast. The field is starting to diminish .

We really have no idea what all is going on behind the scenes with JD. Makes me think of Moneyball (the movie) when they were on the phone back and forth with other GM's. You know JD is working it. But he has to make sure if a trade/FA signing is made that he has all his bases covered. Like if Profar goes to Cards and have Cano in hand to take over at 2nd. Just an example.

Again, I say nuts!!

Maybe JD has something(s) up his sleeve or McCann really wanted to go to NY.

Maybe JD has another something(s) up his sleeve or McCann really wanted to go to NY.

and he really just wanted to be the catcher. Since the quote about Soto being our number 1 catcher and now the Fielder trade, I thought our chances with him may possibly have diminished.

I can't fathom that McCann would choose the Yankees over the Rangers unless we are not competitive on price...

Did we quietly cool off on McCann after Fielder?
to pursue others?

That was my first thought, I just posted maybe we cooled of on pursuing McCann once we had Fielder

you can't fathom why anyone would pick the New York Yankees? That is something you don't hear everyday

I said this on 11-5:
If Soto is the starting catcher like I predicted weeks ago (sorry, had to throw that in there) than Morales and Cruz is where I would like JD to focus. That gives up options at 1st, DH, and OF. I'm sure JD still has a trade in mind also.
10-24:
I have a feeling the bidding will get higher than JD will pay for McCann. I think we might sign another back-up catcher and roll with Soto, just a hunch. That leaves money for Cruz, and Ellsbury or Choo. Too many positions to fill so I hope JD spends. I just have a feeling he won't upgrade as much as we'd like him too.


I can't find the one where I brought up Navarro. You can go back and look at only the comments you make but it stops at 500.

 

[PDay8810]

granderson sure looks the plan B to me moreso than Cano

 

[lainey12]

or a plot to get JD to move fast?
just thinking out loud

 

[WastinSomeTime]

And that is what I think is going on.

I remember you bringing up Navarro

That could very well be, Lainey. But whenever you have the Yankees involved . . .

 

[Justinkm83]

It's fun to go back and look at your own thoughts along the way.

Evan Grant ‏@Evan_P_Grant [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]404381339299762177[/MEDIA]"]8m[/ame] Am told McCann deal with Yankees will be worth close to $90 million, if not more


It is funny he's the source on this.

 

[Justinkm83]

I always thought it was weird that we would sign McCann to a 5 year deal when we have Alfaro growing quickly. I just figured he would be a very tradable asset if we did sign him.
