Agree the Yanks should cashier thold old and useless Tex plus Rod riquez, also try and move beltran and Sabathia if at all possible for anything that they can get, something unheard of for 40y of Yankee history to get some kind of read on a handful of prospects looking forward.
Boston also had never done this until few years back, both teams would never say never, only times have changed and the dollar can’t buy everything any longer in this game as it did. I’d like to see them be smart about it, tho maybe hang onto Miller and betences. Move Gardner along with the rest if they can and get a jumpstart on the rebuild.

Just an update on this part “Minor MLB transactions”, regarding about pitcher Steve Delabar (mlbtraderumors.com/2016/06/minor-mlb-transactions-…).
Steve Delabar just signed with the NPB Central league team Hiroshima Toyo Carp, on a one-year deal worth an estimated 40 million Yen (387,500 USD)… An announcement was made just last night (JP time), source: jiji.com/jc/article?k=2016062500285&g=bsb and carp.co.jp/news16/s-035.html.

What is all this talk with clubs trading the face of their franchise? Mike Trout, Chris Sale, Jose Fernandez, now Andrew McCutchen. There is now way any of those teams trade their players. Let’s hypothetically say a team is open to trading one of their cornerstones, do you know what it would take to get that person? We’re talking 1-2 young stars to begin with, then on top of that, at least 2-3 top prospects, and that’s just to get the ball rolling.
As much as it would be fun, any of these situations are not happening.

It’s all about right situation. I will use the Hanley Ramirez trade as the best example. Everyone knew Hanley was going to be a star so when the Marlins came calling with an offer of Mike Lowell, Beckett and Guillermo Mota; people kind of knew why. Boston desperately wanted to get another ring and knew Beckett and Lowell would get it done. Now Hanley wasn’t the face of the franchise, but he was the future. It would take a lot more to land a Trout or Sale but all it comes down to is right situation anymore.

Sure, if a team offered the entire farm system it would be the right situation for the Angels, White Sox, Marlins (ect.). But at the same time, Hanley Ramirez was not a proven MLB star. He had 2 At-bats before he was traded. Trout, McCutchen, Sale and Fernandez are all proven, young, cost-controlled stars.
That’s why trading young superstars rarely, if ever happen. Why trade a proven commodity for a prospect or prospects, who may not return equal value? Especially considering the age of Trout and others like him, it’s impossible for any team to create a package that would give the Angels, or any other team, equal value in return, and still remain competitive. For example:
Lets say Red Sox offer Moncada, JBJ, Betts, and Devers. That’s a great deal that may be hard for the Angels to turn down. But for the Red Sox, they sacrifice the present and future at every position. These deals are never win/win, that’s why they never happen.

The only possibility of those mentioned is McCutchen. Unlike the other teams, Pittsburgh has to watch it’s payroll. I see Meadows getting a taste of the majors before anything happens, to make sure he is ready. Even then, it would happen in the off season.

Aaron Judge is not ready for the major. He Ks too much. Putting him in the major will hurt his development in the long haul.

On top of De Aza being awful this year, he failed to run out a bunt last night and caused a double play. When Reyes comes up, he should be DFAd not Reynolds.

De Aza should be traded or released. Not running out bunt had TC fuming last night. BTW, Matt Reynolds is not a DFA candidate, he has shown skills as a pinch hitter. Loney has been pleasant surprise as a Duda replacement with a .306 BP and a sturdy glove at 1st.

Can’t say Loney is a surprise because this is what he has been doing throughout his career. Question. When Duda returns do you play Duda to showcase him in a trade to get a solid third baseman and let Loney hold the position until Smith is able to step forward in about a year?
