Ellsbury to Yankees

[Behindenemylines]

ESPN is reporting Ellsbury pulled a Damon and signed with the $pankees for Crawford $$$$. Unless the $panks are full of #@it that would mean that Cano is done in NY. I wouldn't put it pass them that their reaction to a Sox championship is to try to buy another one for themselves.

Its a doned deal and the sox are standing pat doing nothing.Yankees already a strong team.Just get a pitcher or two.

Don't say never on Cano.

My problem here with the sox is that they are acting like a small market team

Yeah, the fact that they're sure to field a 160+ payroll next year and the fact that it's December 3rd are certainly indicative of penny-pinching tactics.

They just paid 8 million for a guy who will essentially be a stopgap. Small market teams would have penciled in Butler and called it a day.

What is their payroll right now?

[d-money]

Well its not close to the yankees payroll.Does this team granderson

is doned as well? Sox cannot decimated their lineup with just rookies

[User Name]

Actually it is. What are you even talking about?

[User Name]

Not that it really matters, since the Sox won the WS last year with a much smaller payroll than the NYY and LAD, but i digress.

What does "doned" even mean?

[d-money]

Ellsbury got overpaid but he will make an impact for the yankees.I like his defense in centerfield.

 

I am not surprised by the yankees tactics.This is just the beginning

[User Name]

Overpaid is the understatement of the century.

[d-money]

He rjortiz ur an idiot.Most likely granderson is gone.Could he be a cheap option for the sox?

[User Name]

Considering the way he spells and the way you spell, plus your complete and utter lack of logical thinking ability, it's pretty clear who's the idiot between the two of you.

[d-money]

Yeah cause ur such a genius.lol.Its a spelling mistake but I am sure u never made a mistake lol Edited December 4, 2013 by d-money

+1 The only idiot on here is me. Rjortiz is far from an idiot.

[rjortiz]

Still laughing at this.

[yeszir]

Noooooo!

It's not the spelling mistakes. Those i can tolerate. The text speak, lack of spacing after punctuation and general lack of coherence, not so much.

[BornToRun]

Jon Heyman sounds so giddy reporting this on MLBN right now. Talking about how much the Yankees enjoy taking a player from the Sox.

[NZSox]

Skanks fans are panicking because they are sure this means they're letting Cano go. General sentiment on their board is verrrry negative.

[User Name]

There's a possibility that they signed Ellsbury because they're gearing up to let Cano depart, but i highly doubt it.

Can everyone step back and realize that aside from the money, this hurts a little. Let's all admit it.

 

That being said solid baseball move not getting involved for that kind of money. Loved Ells, thought he was a game changer when he was healthy, but I think we can spend our money better than that. I would rather have Matt Kemp at age 29 for 6-128 (hint, hint Ben then Ells at age 30 for 8-169.

Let's grab Tanaka ... deal Dempster for prospects, sign Napoli ... JBJ has a high ceiling and he will go great in CF next season.

Red Sox really don't need another starter. I'd see what the Marlins want for Stanton.

I like Stanton ... what will it cost in prospects ... a lot.

Jon is a former Yankee beat writer--most of those guys who work for the NY based networks are from NY and seem to be Yankee fans.

 

This one is not a big deal. Ellsbury is one of those expendable, with JBJ in the wings, and the contract he got from NY had to be ridiculous for the Yankees to get him. Plus the Sox get a supplemental 1st round pick from team that didn't make the playoffs.

 

The Yankees are behaving in a slightly desperate way. It figured they had to spend their way out of their hole. I'm not sure Ellsbury is the best way to spend their money. After all, Gardner is pretty close to the same player unless they can turn Ells into Babe Ruth. Better spent on Cano, but I understand he turned down the same contract from the Yankees.

 

Ha. What will the World Champion Red Sox do next?

[jacksonianmarch]

Your supplemental draft choice isn't technically from us. All we lost was a second rounder to sign Ellsbury. Listen, it's a ridiculous contract, a major overpay and probably an albatross in the final 2-3 yrs of the deal. For 2014, it is a solid move. We'll see how it goes after that
