    Ellsbury is much worse than pavano, and I HATE pavano. Ellsbury May be the worst free agent signing ever.

    Angels signing poop holes is better 

    MLB says josh hamilton was worse, but poo holes got twice the money.

    And there is your top end pitching available via trade. Carrasco and kluber. Corbin and one of them?

    Why do the Tribe have Kluber & Carrasaco available for trade? (Why trade them when their in a weak Division?)

    Probably figure they can get a real good return and would still have a good rotation without at least one of them

    Yanks need to make a serious run at them

    Really starting to sound like they're not going after the big guys and are only concentrating on the rotation.  Not a fan.

    I think its more proactive and maybe extending their window, along with possibly enticing Lindor and/or Ramirez to extend/stay.

    Kluber will be 33 next season, and has thrown a lot of innings the past 5 seasons.  He may be Cy Young caliber for another couple seasons.  He could also bring in a pretty good return of prospects who can help in the medium-term and carry the team in the future.  Even without Kluber, they have a good rotation with Beiber ready to be a full time starter.  Before he got hurt, Bauer was looking like a Cy Young favorite.  They also have a couple top-end pitching prospects in the system in Tristan McKenzie and Ethan Hankins.  

    Looking 3 years down the road, financially there is no way they can afford all of Bauer, Kluber, and Carrasco.  Make a trade now and maximize the return and keep the organization primed for sustained success.

    Want Clint Frazier back? haha..I kid.

    Do think the Yanks could obviously match up well with you.

    Cashman says Yankees need to add multiple pitchers

    NEW YORK NY - MAY 10 CC Sabathia 52 of the New York Yankees pitches in the first inning against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on May 10 2018 in the Bronx borough of New York City

    As expected, the New York Yankees are poised to be busy this offseason.

    General manager Brian Cashman said Monday that the team's number one priority is pitching.

    "We need to reinforce our pitching, so we'll do the best we can with that," Cashman said, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "That seems to be a yearly effort."

    "I'm interested in adding more than one pitcher," he added. "I need to, I think, add multiple."

    The Yankees saw several pitchers hit the open market after the 2018 campaign. Starters J.A. Happ, Lance Lynn, and CC Sabathia, as well as relievers David Robertson and Zach Britton, are all free agents.

    Sabathia, for one, could find himself back in the Bronx. Cashman said there is mutual interest in bringing him back for an 11th season with the Yankees, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.

    The Yankees are also still looking to move right-hander Sonny Gray in a trade. Cashman said "a lot of teams" are showing interest, per Feinsand.

    It's unknown whether bolstering pitching will stop the Yankees from going after Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, but Cashman didn't rule out spending big in the right circumstance.

    "The goal is always to win a championship and to do it in a cost-effective manner," Cashman said, according to Hoch. "As I say cost-effective, we're still a strong, heavy loaded payroll. We got under the tax, but we're still one of the higher payrolls in the game, as you would expect and as it should be."

    Hope that extra $30 mill or whatever was worth it, Robbie?

    On a roll today.  Yes, please.  If they can get an ace + Corbin, I would be okay missing out on the big guys.
