Smart move is Yankees trade Gardner for Gio Gonzalez , then sign jackson to play LF with hicks and if jackson ends up sucking then call up frazier.

It’d take more than Gardner
cxcx
Not necessarily.

Gardner and Jacob Lindgren how ever u spell his name
BravesBoi
Still prolly not gonna cut it. Gio is a solid #3 pitcher, and these days, those are going for quite a bit more than an aging average at best outfielder and a young reliever
AndyM
LOL Gardner is a very underrated outfielder. Gardner and lindgren is way more than enough for Gio but HES nothing but an aging back of the end rotation guy. Yankees should and will aim higher via trade or strike in free agency. They don’t need a guy like Gio

The Rangers will probably do the logical thing, which is trade Gallo. They aren’t about to stick around and see if he becomes nothing. Trade for pitching now is the answer

Adding Boras to the mix makes it even smarter to trade him otherwise you will overpay if you try to resign him once arb runs out
Steve Adams
Stating that an agency switch means a player should be traded due to his earning capacity seven years down the line is a just a teeny smidge of a reach.

I think it’s more supplemental to the comment above.
jdodson1822
@Steven Adams and soxfan1, it was meant to supplement it. Angels basically lost a year of Weaver because of Boras and might have lost more had Weaver not circumvented Boras for the 5 year deal. I’m sure there are more examples of Boras’ magic, but I am an Angels fan and don’t keep up with every team

A trade to the Yankees will be smart we need a young 3rd baseman with power.

A good trade partner for Rangers is TB, who has lots of young MLB ready pitching but needs to rebuild their hitting. Gallo and Jurickson Profar to Tampa would get the pitching Tx needs.

Not sure why the Nats would want Gardner. He can’t play CF anymore and that is what they need

Gio Gonzalez to the Yankee’s??? If he can’t get hitters out in the NL East, good luck trying to get hitters out in the AL East. Yankees can do much better than Gio.

I would like to see Ajax play CF in St.Louis and bat leadoff, he’s a good fit for a good price.
