    Let's do this.  Get your guys on the horn. Edit: the more I think about it, eh.  Yanks should try for other things first or just go with what they have

    https://www.mlb.com/news/interesting-possible-mlb-trades-this-offseason/c-301176542

    2. Yankees trade Ellsbury and Kahnle to Phillies for Santana
    Trading Carlos Santana would open up first base for Rhys Hoskins, while Ellsbury could slide into the left-field slot. The 35-year-old Ellsbury missed all of 2018 with a hip injury, but the issue was surgically repaired and he's expected to be ready for Spring Training. Santana, who signed a three-year, $60 million deal last offseason, would benefit from a move back to the American League, where he can see some at-bats as a designated hitter.

    Santana (two years, $41.5 million) and Ellsbury (two years, roughly $47 million) have roughly the same amount remaining on their contracts, but the Yankees could add right-hander Tommy Kahnle -- who struggled in 2018 following two superb seasons -- into the deal, giving the Phillies a 29-year-old reliever with two more years of club control.

    Tough to keep up with the rumors. Latest seems to be about a Segura trade? Talking with the Rockies as well. 

    And to get Corbin, they'd probably have to go to 6 years. I want him but 6 years is kinda crazy for a pitcher of his ilk, no? There's other cheaper pitching options...

    Going to see a show there in January, I believe.  I'm not into them but my CEO loves The Revivalists and wants to check them out...
    Ween would be fun but I'm booked that night as my wife is traveling for work and I need to watch the kiddos.

    If this is the trade then I am ecstatic. 

    Going to The Met for the Vile show and Greensky Bluegrass in January.

    Also makes me think Machado happens instead of Harper now with there being consensus that Harper may indeed go back to DC. Plus, defense is even more of a priority with Segura most likely your everyday SS.

    Segura is a good pick up!

    Salisbury keeps saying that is still their plan. Machado has to realize that whoever signs him as a ss will move him to third in a couple years anyway.

    Also getting a reliever or two back?

    So Hoskins goes to 1B, Segura is at SS. 
    Decisions at SP, Closer, 3B, LF, 2B...still so much action.  An interesting team to watch given what ownership shared about wanting to spend.

    Thing is I convinced myself earlier due to my thinking above that Machado is the move here. But then I wrote out the lineup and I've changed my mind. Ya need Harper in there, too many right-handed bats and I need a strong arm in right.

    Segura plus a couple decent relievers? Only giving up Santana and JP. Yeah not bad. 

    From what I was reading, Segura seems to be the kind of player that Crawford's ceiling is compared to anyway. Also under team control for 4 years with a team option for year number 5. 


    I'd still rather Harper than Machado.  Something like this looks okay to me:

    4-Hernandez S /Kingery R
    6-Segura R
    3-Rhys R
    9-Harper L
    5-Franco R /Kingery R
    7-Williams L /Herrera S
    8-Quin L /Herrera S
    2-Alfaro R
    1-Nola

    I don't understand how this is a justifiable trade from the Mariners standpoint, but it's a great trade for the Phillies.

    I've been watching Segura the last few years and he is good.  Wait til he has a team around him and he will hit even better.

    Santana stunk it up this year.  He was supposed to have a breakout year but that never happened.

    I think they need to cut bait on Franco.  I want to like the guy (he was very nice to my nephew one time at the park) but he kinda sucks.

    I'm sure Odubel and him will be dangled in some trades in the coming weeks...
