It’s Monday, which means we’re gearing up for another edition of the MLBTR Mailbag. In last week’s edition, Jeff Todd tackled questions on Jay Bruce, the Royals’ right field situation, the best value signings of the offseason, pre-arb salaries, Erick Aybar and a crowded A’s roster.
If you have a question you’ve been mulling over and would like MLBTR’s take, let us know: mlbtrmailbag@gmail.com. We can’t get to every question, of course, but remember that you can also send questions our way on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in the weekly live chats hosted by myself and Jeff, respectively. Also remember that Mailbag questions are welcome throughout the week, so feel free to send them at any time.
What would need to happen in order for the Yankees to be willing to trade Gary Sanchez for Julio Teahran ?
Today’s Notes on Teheran: “Teheran should offer some mixed-league value this season, though he doesn’t appear to possess the same kind of upside he did a couple of years ago”
Sanchez is the Yankees Top Prospect, and the Prize of it’s minor league system right now. Trading him for a pitcher who is ranked at 178, and is the 35th best pitcher in the NL, is probably pretty far fetched. The Braves would probably have to include at least a prospect like Jenkins, Bird, plus possibly Davidson to get the deal done.
I was thinking Vizcaino Jenkins and Teahran for Sanchez & Nova
Yanks are loaded at the back end of the bullpen…….they won’t want Vizcaino…..and you’ll need to give up more to get Sanchez and Nova…..I think…..but I’m not a yankee fan.
