Yanks deal for Voit

[jacksonianmarch]

Yanks got Luke Voit from the Cardinals along with $1 mil in INTL funds for Chases Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos. The INTL money was the most important part for the Yankees. We had spent all of ours and needed to finalize our deals with Verdura and Rodriguez. We’ve got probably one more deal for INTL money to go. In terms of Voit, the Yankees got a RH hitter with power who couldn’t make a rather stacked StL club this year. He’s hitting well in AAA. He’s likely headed to the big club to serve as an offensive option for Boone until either Frazier or Judge return.

Yanks also just traded Caleb Frare to the White Sox for $1.5M intl. bonus money. Would have been another Rule 5 victim.

We’re signing Cubans Rodriguez and Verdecia with that money. We’re also in on Gaston

As a Red Sox fan, I'm really going to miss Chasen Shreve

[jacksonianmarch]

No kidding. He was the human white flag

How much money you project to have in INT'L Money next year?

[bkzwhitestrican]

Yanks started off with $4.98M, added $1.5M with Frare deal and $1M with the Shreve deal, so I believe it's $7.48M available. There could have been other smaller transactions throughout the year that I'm not accounting for, but that's probably the ballpark number.

Thanks, now even more. Somebody knows something in your Scouting Dept.
