Evening Links & Notes: Sabathia, Burnett, Rotation
Good evening all the way the news is coming in it seems like A.J. Burnett could be gone tonight or maybe by tomorrow. Keep checking with us as we will have updates as soon as they come out.
Here is the latest tweet: From Andrew Marchand
To summarize, Yanks will receive $13-15M back in A.J. deal. So I would say it is likely $14M—

* The Daily News reports that C.C. Sabathia is energized about this season with all the moves.
* The Star Ledger says the rotation after C.C. is still undecided.
Use this thread to talk about whatever you like. Enjoy the nite.

I wonder who the prospects might be that could be included in the deal from Pittsburgh. I wonder if the young left hander Colton Cain might be in depending on how much money the Pirates pick up?
well they said none of them would be on the 40man. not to sure though.
Well he definitely isn’t on their 40 man roster.
below is the list of Law’s top 10 prospects for the pirates organization. I took off the ones who were on the 40 man roster. In the ( ) are the ones he ranked in his top 100 so i doubt any of those would go to the yankees. but it will be interesting if any of the others are included.
Pittsburgh Pirates
1. Gerrit Cole, RHP (10)
2. Jameson Taillon, RHP (16)
3. Josh Bell, LF (67)
5. Robbie Grossman, OF (86)
6. Luis Heredia, RHP
8. Stetson Allie, RHP
9. Colton Cain, LHP
10. Zack Dodson, LHP
Makes me want to cry everytime I see Gerrit Cole on all the top prospect lists. From everything I’ve read the Pirates would rather pay more of AJ’s salary than give up good prospects. That is defenitely the wise thing to do from their point of view.
Yup could have been in the organization.
Here is the latest news/link on AJ:
http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/yankeesblog/yankees_could_save_with_burnett_bDfzLYV0vqhIzNzCbenRBN
with how that is worded and from other things i read i’m doubting it will be anyone on the above list.
Who knows. I guess we should find out soon.
You can probably eliminate the #(s) 1,2,3 and 5 the others maybe not. They could be made available to the Yankees.
more like you can def eliminate those 1,2,3, and 5. It will be a bonus if they can get 1 or 2 of the others.
Maybe an OF or SS not on the list?
Will today finally be the day most Yankees fans clap their hands at the news that AJ Burnett “The Scourge of the Yankees”, “The Plague Upon the Universe” has finally been trade? ONE CAN ONLY HOPE.
