I wouldn’t mind trading from our prospect depth for their prospect depth.

Who for who?

Report: Carlos Correa not settling 'for anything less than' Francisco Lindor's $341 million figure

According to Matthew Roberson of the New York Daily News, Carlos Correa doesn’t want less than what the Mets offered Francisco Lindor — $341 million — while the Yankees are not looking to commit a lot of money to a big-name shortstop right now.

Any chance Correa sits on the open market all off-season with no takers due to his asking price?

Not a chance.

ST terrible

Who for who?

Don’t know

 

[Kelleyman]

Like Bleday

 

[DTC]

Who for who?

If we acquire a SS we will have IKF, Ibanez, Solak, Foscue, Smith, Duran, Acuna and Hauver who can all play 2B.

So I would be ok with trading Foscue and a pitcher they like who’s not on our list.

Or 1 from our top 4-10 and 1 from our 11-30 for Melendez and someone we like that’s not on their list.

Just based on where they are ranked on MLB Pipeline, I think they either ask for Winn or Foscue plus someone in our #8 or 9 range for Melendez. He is ranked just a few spots above Foscue and just behind Winn, so most likely a trade involves one of those.

I wonder if Foscue, Wendzel and Cody Bradford would work.
I would definitely hold onto to Winn. In almost any scenario I wouldn’t want to trade from our top 3.
Just like I wouldn’t expect them to trade Witt

If the off-season went perfect what would our lineup and starting 5 look like? In your opinion.
For everyone

Looks like all the highlights but one were him in RF. Good upright stance at the plate. Looks balanced- bat stays a good time in the zone

Why would I want 1 to 2 years of him during a rebuild?

Why would I want 1 to 2 years of him during a rebuild?

I feel the same way. I’m good with rolling Adolis Garcia out there

For everyone

C Trevino
1B Lowe
2B Solak/Ibanez
3B Jung
SS Story/Correa
LF Calhoun
RF Suzuki
CF Garcia
DH. Solak/Ibanez

SP Kershaw
SP Dunning
SP Hearn
SP Martinez
SP Alexy

Now, 2023 and 2024 are a different story altogether.

I think Foscue would have to be paired with someone better than them. It would probably take Duran paired with Foscue.

Of course Foscue and Duran would be seen by them as playing the same position with them having Witt for SS. So, they probably would look for a team that could offer them a better rmatchup or they would simply ask for Winn.

Yankees "Monitoring" Rather Than Pursuing Top Free Agent Shortstops?

The Yankees have a stated need at shortstop and have already been in touch with several of the biggest names …

If we sign Correa for 10 years at $30-32 million AAV, should the front office be blamed for significantly harming the team's chances at being competitive in the future(2 to 6 years)?
