Yankees To Acquire Greg Allen From Padres

By TC Zencka | January 6, 2021 at 2:16pm CDT

The Yankees are set to acquire outfielder Greg Allen from the Padres. Allen was recently designated for assignment by San Diego. The Padres will receive left-handed reliever James Reeves in return, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post (via Twitter).

Allen, a San Diego native, was traded to the Padres last August as part of the Mike Clevinger deal. The speedy outfielder appeared in just one game for the Padres, drawing a pair of walks, stealing a base, and scoring a run. For his career, Allen holds a .239/.298/.343 line in 618 plate appearances across four years with the Indians and Padres.

Reeves is a 27-year-old southpaw drafted by the Yankees in the 10th round of the 2015 draft. He has a 2.30 ERA across five minor league seasons, functioning almost exclusively as a reliever. He logged a 1.79 ERA across 55 1/3 innings for Double-A Trenton in 2019 with a 27.7 percent strikeout rate, 9.4 percent walk rate, and 43 percent groundball rate.

        but a lefty with a live fastball that could be a emergency reliever during the season, might as well get something for a player they had no plans on using.

          “Live fastball.” It seems to me the last Yankee castoff with a “live fastball” that Preller acquired was Bryan Mitchell. That worked out well.

          Some teams like to keep a player down for no reason…Orioles should have tried him out at a much younger age but let him burn in the minors.

          I think Yankees were doing it to Reeves as well he was working his way up to AA only for them to shuffle him between AAA->AA->A+ then back to AA and back again to A+ his stats looked fine nothing to say demotion about it.

          Bingo

          As a Yankee fan that’s how we got lucky with Voit and Gio. Nobody, even Cashman, knew they would be as good as they are now. Bautista on the Jays, Pena with the Rays, Ortiz with the Sox also come to mind.

          That would be cool to create a list of DFA in their mid to late 20’s who became studs.

          Dude, the guy pitched exactly one game (1.2 innings) in AAA. His shuttle was between A+ and AA. And the Yanks thought so highly of him, they traded him for a 5th-6th outfielder.

          They saw something in him that they didn’t like. And they had 5+ years to figure it out. Plus, he’ll be 28 in June.

          SDHotDawg:

          That is an argument without any validity. The history of MLB is loaded with really good players released or traded away for zip.

          So the Mets saw something in Justin Turner they didn’t like? The A’s saw something in Max Muncy they didn’t like? I guess the Astro’s saw something in JD Martinez that they didn’t like either. The WSox must have seen something in Fernando Tatis Jr. that they didn’t like so they traded him away for James Shields.

          SF traded Luis Castillo to the Marlins for Casey Mcgehee, and then the Marlins traded him to the Reds for Dan Straily. Apparently two teams didn’t like what they saw in Castillo.

          As to his being 28, some guys develop later than others, and his prime years just might be 28 or 29 through 32 or 33. It would not be that unusual if that were the case.

          No, your rebuttal has no validity. In each example, you’re comparing apples and oranges. For example, with your Tatis and Shields comp: Tatis hadn’t played a single game as a pro, and Shields was a highly regarded and proven ML pitcher.

          On top of that, you’re implying that I said Reeves isn’t very good. I did not. What I inferred is that the Yankees don’t think he’s very good, as demonstrated by his minor league progress in their system, and the fact that they traded him for a fringe-ML outfielder.

          I’ll be happy to debate you, but only if you work on your reading comprehension skills.

          Mike Yastrzemski never earned a shot in the bigs. His minor league numbers as a whole were extremely underwhelming. And as a 14th round college pick—it’s not all that surprising he wasn’t given a shot. Unfortunate for the O’s but a real outlier.

          Yankees have major bullpen depth. Why would they have ever called him up? AAA doesn’t even matter for development much anymore. Yankees lost a speedy OF in Gardner. Maybe they see a similar scrappiness in Allen.

          Actually, AAA is important. I think AA is the most important step, but in AAA the competition includes a lot of players with big league experience, older veterans, and 4-A players.

    Yankees immediately assign Greg Allen to the Gio Urshela offseason hitting camp.

    More likely, he’s an offseason placeholder until they finalize their roster, but also not impossible he sticks on the team as the 5th OFer and the one who can play CF to backup Hicks if Gardner doesn’t return. They did give up something for him, even if minor, indicating they may be planning to keep him.

        If you mean Tauchman can back up CF, I would have agreed when they first acquired him, but the Yankees have made it clear they don’t view Tauchman as an option in CF. He’s the back up to the back-up CFer.

      That’s where I’m at. I’m sure someone will come along and say they traded from a place of abundance and so can afford this move easily but that doesn’t take anything from the fact that for now, from a pure value for value perspective, Reeves is the better piece.

        Really? Allen has made it to the Show, Reeves is in AA, how does that make him the Better Piece?
        The Yankees traded a Guy they’ve had 5 years out of college and he hasn’t made it to AAA. They expect fairly fast progression from College Pitchers. We know Reeves can dominate A and AA competition but they see something that keeps them from believing he can do so at the next Level.

          Padres made out in this deal get a minor league guy the yanks toyed with in the minors by shifting him up/down while keeping good numbers.

          at worst he flames out on majors level.

      I’m more genuinely surprised anyone was willing to trade for Greg Allen at all.

      It would make sense to me for a team to claim him off waivers and pick him up if they didn’t have to give anything away, but I feel like his production is so replaceable that you could acquire something similar with a league minimum FA signing, so why trade away anyone?

    This is the result of luxury tax penalties; specifically, the fact they have not kept up with the increase in salaries.

    So, welcome to equitable distribution’s inevitable conclusion. Take away these ridiculous penalties that pay for the Rays, etc, and you’ll see the Yankees sign some players.

    As frustrating as this is to watch them operate in an austerity budget offseason, I don’t blame them for not wanting to pay extra money on every dollar they spend. The MLBPA should learn from this.

        The latest I’ve seen is that after arbitration cases (raises) are awarded and the player benefits are added in, the Yankees project to be at $185M against the CBT limit of $210M. Signing DJL to a $20M/yr contract puts them at $205M, not enough room to add another SP that they desperately need unless they are willing to go over the CBT for the 3rd year in a row. This is why DJL has not been signed yet; they need to figure out what they want to do in regards to the CBT for 2021.

      I disagree, and Im a LAD fan as well- I wish it was a hard cap tbh like football – Its hard to listen to folks cry about not having everything you need with 200 mill when some teams are spending a quarter of that

      The lux tax penalties are not even that bad for first and second time offenders in all honesty – You pay about 11 mill on a 250 mill payroll…. thats not a killer if your willing to go 250 in the first place

      They more serve the purpose as a backdrop for owners to use to maximize profits while keeping the peons at bay-
      The real problem isnt the Max its the Min floor thats non-existent in baseball tho – But thats another time another place –
      The MLBPA should for once look into whats best for the sport and not just there pocket books. If they do that we will have a good chance for progress moving forward

        the cap isnt bad at first, but it compounds. its not like going over the cap is rampant and its not like the cap teams are always doing the best. a hard cap doesnt help when the smaller market teams dont want to spend to begin with.

      @Yankee Clipper
      It’s not as if the Yankees haven’t spent any money. A year ago they signed Cole to the largest contract ever given to a pitcher. No team should be in a position to snag a top two FA every offseason. As DarkSide pointed out the Yankees can win a WS without going over the threshold. What they need more than anything is better fortune on the injury side. Most seasons I don’t believe the penalties are a big factor for them however I’m sure they try to reset it every handful of years. The NFL shares TV revenue and has a salary cap which helps even the playing field. The NBA has a cap per player and a form of salary cap. Of the sports MLB has the least amount of control over salaries which are fully guaranteed. I don’t know how the Rays compete as it is I wouldn’t want to make the disparity even worse by eliminating the small amount of revenue sharing the small markets receive.

        Seth, why should “no team” be in that position. It’s regulating who can hire and pay employees for their business? And that would be possible even with no LTT – it’s a self-regulating issue by the third year.

      Yankee Clipper:

      All you’re doing is arguing for the Yankees to be able to outspend other teams as much as they want. That would kill baseball. If the WS each year came down to a handful of wealthy teams, fans of teams without financial clout would get bored and move away in droves.

      I might add also that the Yankees hit toward the CBT threshold last season was $237M. Imagine what they would spend if MLB removed the tax. It would be so boring if the Yankees, after signing Cole last season, signed Bauer, Realmuto, and Springer this season, and then signed Lindor, and anyone else they wanted, next season.

      Not being able to sign anyone you want is tantamount to the kid who owns the ball, and when he doesn’t win, takes his ball and goes home. This is precisely why most fans root against the Yankees.

          No, actually he misconstrued my point and assigned motive to my statement. That’s the complete opposite of well said. It’s conjecture and broad-stroking a discussion about the tax on teams with more money in favor of his feelings to try and shut down a point of view. I responded though…. you’re welcome.

        No, I’m making my assertion from a macro view and using the Yankees as my case in point. Moreover, it was a response to prior posts about the slow movement of the offseason. This will only get worse. You may argue against this, but you cannot deny that salaries are increasing, Yankees cannot control that, and collusion is not legal. So, if they don’t sign top FA for market value, strikes will result, and the MLB ownership will be accused of reducing salaries through league-wide collusion.

        Again, salaries are going up, although $11 million isn’t bad the first year they have a large number of FA that could already be signed if not for the LTT. Arguing against that by saying teams shouldn’t “buy” championships shows you haven’t watched baseball. Following it by stating the teams should be able to build like the Rays, who consequently get free money from major market teams to pay for their teams, is counterintuitive at best. Salary caps will not work either imho.

    Hmm can see this as depth since the OF is made of glass or maybe cash is planning on moving tauchmen or some other prospects for a pitcher? I did don’t see them spending money on anyone except DJL since they don’t want to go over the luxury tax. And pretty much DJL resigning will leave no room for other FAs so if we want pitching I think it’ll be through trades to stay under the tax.

    Reeves is an old prospect but he still looks semi promising. The Padres might also be the best team in the league when it comes to unearthing relievers out of nowhere so he might still be something. Getting him for a DFA’d player looks good.

      I was expecting nothing in return when SD had to DFA Allen so even getting someone who can be organizational relief depth is a solid return.

      He’s arguably not even a “prospect” anymore at age 27, so I’m not expecting anything out of him, but based on what he’s done so far in AA I think they have a better chance at him actually contributing something at some point than they would with younger lotto ticket who has less of a track record in the minors.

    I like and understand the reason for using the new K and Walk rate stats… But I have no idea if 27% is good or not for K rate. At least with K/9 I knew that 8+ was good and 11+ was outstanding, but I have no bearing on the new stats.

        And by comparison to probably the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom, who has a career K rate of 10.9 per 9 and a BB rate of 2.2 per 9.

        Not sure what Reeves’ BB% is. deGrom’s is 6.1% and MLB average is 8.2%.

        Clearly Reeves has SO stuff, while his walk rate does not seem to be that much of a red flag.

    If the season is played under some sort of amended rules that allow for extra active players on the roster, then I like this move- bare minimum this is a guy who can pinch run and play some outfield defense. And, he was enough of a prospect to reasonably hope he ends up being something more.

    great- whatever. This is only news b/c nothing else is going on. This is very typical though of cashman b/c there is little downside. The chance of either guy making a difference is low so if Allen is decent or even tauchman light he will hailed a genius.

    So who is paying attention to the fact that after Cole the rotation still reeks of the the O’s or Royals, or that the BP which he spends a fortune on has serious holes, or that we still have no defensive SS, lefty bats, and the redundancy of 5 or 6 guys who basically hit the ball 500 ft or don’t hit it all.

    The first thing that occurred to me at this news was: What do the Yankees need more — pitching, or another outfielder to add to the eight they already have?

    Judge, Stanton, Hicks, Frazier, Tauchman, Florial, Wade, Andujar … and Allen makes nine.

    I sure hope this isn’t a sign that, instead of spending money for a great rotation option like Sugano, Cashman is loading up on outfielders in preparation for a trade of Frazier in return for a mid-rotation arm, because Hal has him on a financial leash.
