New York Notes: Shoppach, Payroll, Burnett, Lowe

By Mike Axisa | August 15, 2012 at 12:55pm CDT

The Yankees (69-47) own the best record in the AL, but the Mets (55-61) grabbed some headlines yesterday by acquiring Kelly Shoppach from the Red Sox for a player to be named later. Here's the latest out of the Big Apple…

  • Ken Davidoff of The New York Post says that the Shoppach acquisition is an encouraging pickup because it shows the Mets are willing to take on money at midseason, something they haven't done in recent years.
  • Mets GM Sandy Alderson isn't sure how much money he'll have to spend on his roster this offseason, reports Brian Costa of The Wall Street Journal. He said he also has yet to think about extending manager Terry Collins, who is under contract through next season.
  • Davidoff reports that the Yankees preferred Derek Lowe to A.J. Burnett during the 2008-2009 offseason, but they had concerns about the sinkerballer's ground ball tendencies and their infield defense. New York signed Burnett back then, but traded him to the Pirates this offseason while adding Lowe this week.

    When I read the headline and saw New York Notes and then near it saw Payroll, I for sure was expecting something about the Yankees trying to go under $189 million after next year.

    That’s funny because ATL preferred Burnett to Lowe, but Burnett spurned us to go to NYY with more money. Based on how well Burnett is doing back in the NL, I think he chose poorly.

      Based on his contract, I think he chose correctly.
