FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal was told by an AL executive that the Yankees are "aggressively" pushing trades involving Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes.
In fact, the same executive said that Chamberlain could soon be dealt to a National League team. Meanwhile, Rosenthal was told by another source that nothing is close with either player. Both Chamberlain and Hughes are slated to be free agents after the season. While it's a bit surprising to see a contending team dangle a starter in the trade market, Ivan Nova has pitched well of late and the Yankees have Michael Pineda waiting in the wings in the minors.

back to back WFAN callers today
first one wanted Mets to send Marlon Byrd to Yankees for Hughes
admittedly Byrd would be the Yankees' cleanup hitter, but no explanation on why Mets would want another SP of all things they need, plus we all know how cheap they are
second one wants to send Joba to Phillies for CRuiz and MYoung
says good for Phillies because they are in contention and those are expiring contracts
ok, so is Joba, and why would Phillies deal two starting hitters if they are in contention.....
I love fans calling in trades to radio stationsfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

It's pretty obvious that the Jeter activation was a publicity move, designed to take attention away from the All-Star Game at Citi Field. Nice to see the holy Yankees being so petty. And it worked out so well right off the bat.
BTW, whatever happened to that "Big Three" of Chamberlain, Hughes, and the almost-afterthought Ian Kennedy? How's that working out for the Yankees? Somehow, I'm reminded of "Generation K" cross-town years ago (Isringhausen, Wilson, and Pulsipher).
Last thought--Is this year the last one for Cashman with the Yankees? Between the albatross contracts, the age of the roster, the underperformance of the team, and the lack of real prospects in the minors, I have to think that the only thing keeping this guy in his job is incriminating evidence on Hank and Hal.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Originally posted by Bodhizefa View PostThe Yankees have a .543 record and are 2.5 games out of the Wild Card despite season-long injuries to a litany of their powerhouse star players. They've been playing without Granderson, Teixeira, A-Rod, and Jeter and Andy Pettitte has greatly underperformed expectations, and yet the team keeps winning with a roster full of back-ups constructed by Cashman. Personally, I'd call this Cashman's most amazing season yet as a GM, at least thus far.
It's not just what he's done, it's also what he's EXPECTED to do. And when you look at the 21st century Yankees, I can see a case for saying he's not met expectations.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

However, as we all know, the Yankees are not just any organization. When you have and spend this much money, there are higher expectations.

While it's admirable that they are still in the hunt with the slop they are putting on the field every day...With the amount of resources at their disposal, the fact that that is the slop they are putting out on the field is kind of pathetic. I'd argue that it's the players who have kept them in the hunt. Cashman put that team on the field despite nearly unlimited resources relative to other teams, so it's almost like good fortune for him that they are doing as well as they are. I hardly believe Cashman is some mad genius that saw THIS group of players being the team he expected to compete when no one else did. He kind of put himself in a position where this was the best lineup they could put on the field, and sometimes you just get sh!t lucky.
If the Yanks stay fiscally sane and allow Cashman to run the team, he's on of the best GMs in the business.

If there's a management person who deserves real kudos for making this mess work, it's Girardi. I'm not a homer or hater, but I think Girardi has done just about everything right this year under truly difficult circumstances.I'm just here for the baseball.

Does Michael Pineda have any chance at starting for the Yankees this year? I stashed him on my DL and now he is taking up a spot on my bench that i need. Sorry if this was already talked about. But, i didn't have time to review the previous 18 pages of this thread.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
