      Yeah but it’s still an upgrade. Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera were their oldest players last year. I think they had pretty good seasons. And the Mets are asking a lot for the oldest SP in baseball in Colon. I’d also say there’s no argument that the oldest DH and oldest active closer (teammates) are 2 of the best in baseball still as well.

        Age is completely irrelevant outside of multi-year/long contracts imo. Production outways it every time. Byrd’s option only vests with 600 or more PA in 2015, so that’d mean he was healthy all year. Not bad .

    The last time Byrd was in the AL East worked out marvelously. The youth movement should work out great for the Yanks.

    Amaro has been telling teams all day that he wants their top three prospects in exchange for Byrd or any other player on his roster. If the Yankees got him for basically nothing, I smell collusion and something doesn’t appear right.

    I have a strong feeling it is a hoax, because if Philly traded him for next to nothing, Philly need a new GM, because the current one doesn’t have a clue what he is doing. He has told other teams like Seattle that it would take Walker, plus for Byrd and the Yankees grabbing him for a no name filler doesn’t make sense.
