Angels claim Eovoldi
k Deforge
Who cares!!
Matt.Grandon
He can’t pitch in 2017 as he had Tommy John surgery last August
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
Why would they claim him? He can’t pitch? Claim him and he’s still a free agent next year.
Philliesfan4life
He’s a power arm the angels could use in the bullpen or rotation

Yankees are dumb
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
Why are the dumb? Please explain.
MB923
For dumping a guy due around $7 mil who can’t pitch until September? Yep. Dumb move.
trolofson
A’s cud use Evoldi
MrMet19
Eovaldi is out until his team control is up (tommy john in august)
NineChampionsips
Unless I missed something II’m seeing Jake Cave was left unprotected. I’d love to see the A’s take him in the Rule 5 but he’s probably going to be one of the first 3 or 4 players taken.

Eovaldi will be a great closer a few years down the road imo
go_jays_go
That’s a bold claim for someone who just had his second career TJ surgery.

And throws the most hittable 100mph fastball ever

The only way Eovaldi could stay with the team if he were outrighted, then re-signed to a two year contract–modest base this year, midrange for 2018. Eovaldi gets paid and has a guaranteed payment for 2018 even if he can’t come back, and the Yankees get control of 2018 by essentially paying for it. But to go through arb is ridiculous.
go_jays_go
If Eovaldi was outrighted and he elects free agency, couldn’t the Yankees sign him to a minor league deal?
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
Well he could but it’d be pointless on both sides. He’d be better off taking the Holland route. And then looking for a 1 year or 2 year incentive laden contract next offseason provided he is healthy. The only thing he has going for him is he’ll have full 18 recommended months.
mike156
Exactly. The Yankees would need to make it worth his while to give away 2018–maybe it’s $1M for 2017.. They did this years ago with Jon Lieber and it worked out for both sides. Lieber rehabbed in 2003, pitched for them in 2004.
matthewalan09
Jon Lieber. Now thats a blast from the past! Back when Farnsworth was starting! Lol.

Two words, Nathan…
Ray Searage.
jj954
The trade the Marlins won by a longshot lol
argenys h.
Domingo German….
JoeGNYC
Well I hope Yanks sign him to the two-year rehab/incentive contract. He was a good Yankee who showed great stuff when healthy and looked to improve each year. A good guy to root for.
devinator
I understand the fact that he is most likely not pitching next season but when you have such a depleted pitching staff and you have put so much effort into coaching this guy to designate him for assignment is astonishing to me. Sign him to a league minimum this year and then pay him in 2018 I understand the free agent class that year but we could afford the 5-8M we would have to cough up maybe we could do incentive based
bernbabybern
So long, Captain Eo.
Nola Di Bari 67
Hey Yanks, you interested in Chris Sale? Ok . . . . Clint Frazier, Gleybar Torrez,Greg Bird, and Starlin Castro will be your return.Fair enough?
billysbballz
Nahhhh
We are not one pitcher away from tearing down our future but good luck trading him to the Braves as we all know there fans will offer you Teheran and maybe there 15th best prospect for Sale!
JKurk22
Actually I wouldn’t want to include Teheran for Sale. Most Braves fans like me would love to have Sale, but we’d also much rather not give up all that much for him. So really I kinda hope we don’t get him unless we somehow win the deal, which I know I will never happen. So nah. The Sox will end up keeping Sale anyways.
Yankees2425
I don’t believe they’ll be trading for Sale after literally just acquiring half of the prospects you listed. Honestly that deal wouldn’t even be enough for Sale.
