Yankees deal for Gray

[Spudboy]

Stop adding Holt to trade proposals.

 

Yeah I don't get that idea either.

 

He must have very little value until he shows that he can play well enough every day.

We dealt from a surplus, opened up our 40 man and didn't affect the top of the depth chart of our farm at all.

It was a brilliant trade.

 

You don't get chances like this too often.

I agree, used to think Cashman was a mediocre GM, but the last two deadlines has me thinking about it; it looks like it was the ownership holding him back

. Yep

By the way, Florial was just called up to High-A Tampa, a step away from AA

Edit: Wrong thread. My faut

I would rather have Groome, Mata, and Chavis than Fowler, Mateo, and Kaprielian.

 

But Dombrowski was never going to offer that for Gray.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yeah, you're alone in that theory

[moonslav59]

Yeah, you're alone in that theory

 

Those three have no injury doubts.

 

I think that offer is better than the Yank's offer, but I do admit the Yankee might be better, if all those guys come back 100%.

[jacksonianmarch]

Grooms has injury, character and performance concerns and he's in A ball sucking ass.

 

Mata is in Low A ball

 

Chavis is a real prospect with close proximity.

 

Fowler made his big league debut. Kaprielian likely debuts in Double A next year. Mateo will likely end the year in AAA.
