Re: 2018 Brian Cashman Performance Thread
Perhaps trading Gray before they acquire another starter is necessary in order to get maximum return? If they acquire another starter first, I think any team interested in Gray will lessen their offer, knowing the Yanks now must move Gray to clear a roster spot. I've heard a few media analysts suggest that at this point the Yanks might consider holding on to Gray in case they don't get the right starter - Cashman isn't saying this publicly, but instead is planting a seed (through the media) in order to build Gray's value. Something like "Give us your best offer for Gray or we may just keep him."
Here's another way to use Gray:
Yesterday I started thinking about a preliminary offer of Frazier & Florial to the Indians for Kluber. If the Indians counter-offer with "You have to take Kipnis if you want Kluber", then Cashman counters with "we'll take Kipnis but you have to take Gray".
I would think Gray slots in very nicely behind Carrasco, Bauer & Clevinger, and right in front of Bieber - still a strong enough rotation to win their division and be formidable in October. They gain a ML-ready everyday LFer in Frazier and a high-reward risk OFer in Florial, while shedding over $20M+ in 2019 payroll.
IMO the Yanks should then immediately go out and sign Michael Brantley for 4 yrs/$60M to play LF and begin building their bullpen.
OTOH, I'm having a hard time justifying why the Indians would deal Kluber to the Yanks or the Astros, the two teams ahead of them that could really use him."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

.its just about how much the bombers can save $ signing Harper report are he's not going back to the Nats. He will sell more shirts than A Rod ever did . The Yankees need a white icon to go along with the current players of color. Business is business

Re: 2018 Brian Cashman Performance Thread
you see it differently and your mind is dirty very much so every ethnic group has their own following Cuban,Dominican,Afro American , South American ,Asian ect. Yankees are missing their white American player , You can't expect the up and coming kids born to a white American heritage to follow an outside the county baseball hero and to buy a Voit , or Gardner shirt . This is not about quota , its about business & diversity . The rainbow flag will be flying over the stadium this year correct . I'm ok with that no problem I respect rights just balance it out for everyone to enjoy , don't ram it down our throat

Afro-American? Holy 1974, Batman.

Re: 2018 Brian Cashman Performance Thread
Sir, your "perfectly normal" is perhaps no longer considered to be "perfectly normal". IMO buying a jersey should have absolutely nothing to do with ethnicity. This is why baseball itself is so wonderful - a player can be of any size, shape, or form and be a kid's idol.
Once again, I'll reiterate that you are entitled to say whatever you want, but as is with any other opinion, you might want to choose your words a bit more carefully so it doesn't ruffle anyone's feathers.
I'm thinking we should both just leave this alone now. Sorry for the confusion."Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'" -- Mickey Mantle

Re: 2018 Brian Cashman Performance Thread
Getting Harper to attract a certain fan base is a great marketing strategy ( home attendance is down the last 3 years ) he will surely get back a lot of walk away fans back to the stadium again . Market & Society identity dictates how most are living your / their life today. Don't you ever forget it = made plenty $$ doing it . All meds are in order , all cylinders running in perfect sequence .

Re: 2018 Brian Cashman Performance Thread
My bad. I thought we were discussing Gray and missed your point with Harper (most on the other thread). Yes, I don't think Harper is going back but we'll find out next week (and they still want him), I do prefer Harper over Manny, the Nats have a top 5 AL rotation with Corbin. Like the Nats with me it's the massive contract with Harper that I don't want to take on. I'll try to delete my post.
