Trade Notes: Machado, Braves, Shark, Yanks, Andujar, Rangers, Cards

More on the Yankees, whose starting third baseman, Miguel Andujar, has been in the rumor mill of late. The Rangers and “several” other teams have made more than one inquiry regarding Andujar in the past, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. And “multiple executives” informed Sherman that the Yankees are now trying to drive up Andujar’s value so they can sell high on the 23-year-old. General manager Brian Cashman shot that down, though, saying: “That is completely false. I think [Andujar] is a hell of a player. We have said ‘no’ to him [in trade talks] not just this year but from Double-A on up. I have not included him any deals and that should say how I feel about him.” Cashman goes on to defend Andujar’s questionable defense in Sherman’s piece and adds, “Where he was and where he is now, I feel vindicated not moving him.”

Probably traded for sure now.

You would have liked sitting in the cheap seats at the old Arlington Stadium then, back when General Admission was $4 for adults and $2 for kids. The atmosphere in our current stadium is much better to me.

I sat there plenty of times and it did get rowdy.

Kyle Cody needs TJ.

That stadium was the pits. So glad for the Ballpark. But will really be glad for the new stadium as they should have put a roof on when they were designing the Ba;;park at Arlington.

If memory serves, it was a minor league park originally, and they just expanded it.

That is correct as I recall.

It's such a pleasure to watch a young guy, who wasn't even suppose to be up this season, have such quality ab's.

If the Yankees land Machado then their budget will be stretched thin. Meaning, as far as we're concerned, if they have interest in Hamels, then they'll want us to eat more money, or, they may shift their interest toward Minor.

Point well made.

Thought is Yanks have no legit the interest in Machado due to luxury tax. Hamels is a good bet if we eat money for more prospects. Phils and Brew crew have been rumored more likely

Brooks Robinson made 3rd base famous. Lucky to see him play.

Absolutely.......won 16 straight GG.....Now there's some bragging rights.

 

[donaldson79]

What on earth Profar?

 

[donaldson79]

Is this ridiculous to think ask? Does Colon have any trade value?

 

[Kelleyman]

Marteen kept his cool made a good pitch and bailed Profar out. Perhaps correct that Bartolo is a good influence. MP looking good and pitching fairly quick

Limited but what contender will want him.

 

[Kelleyman]

Gallo not recognizing the change twice.
