I’d prefer the trade for Schoop if possible. He’d be a huge upgrade at second and they’d have him next year too. He just started to come around. Not sure it’s realistic, but he’d be the best get possible for the lineup and second base. He went from not as good as Nunez for 3 months, to MVP type player in July. So yea if he's turned the corner he'd likely be the best bat they could get. He's hit .360 .356 .700 1.056 with 9 HRs and 19 RBI in July. Only red flag is zero walks in the month, don't think I've ever seen an obs below a players average before.

If he is so valuable, then why were the Yankees so willing to give him away? The Yankees could have stayed under the CBT if they kept Castro. That was Dozier. As far as Castro goes, I imagine Miami wanted him because he's Cuban. lol, this thread has gone to crap and I pretty much wanted to stay out of the pink guys waving race cards derby but couldn't resist here. Castro is Cuban because ?

Think it's far more likely they end up moving their RP's than Harper. Just don't see the Nats taking a Machado-esque package for him. That said, just making him available seemingly makes it less likely he signs there after this season, and thus increases the chances he ends up in NY

Of course, it's posted by someone who follows the Yankees. This will be interesting.

Are the Yankees a good fit for Harper prospect wise? Doesn’t seem like it.

Color me confused a day ago they were trying to trade for an all-star catcher, now they might blow it up. Wow, sounds like the owner and GM aren't on the same page.

Judge is out, Sanchez out - I can see them loading up. They have the prospects and with the international draft money they just picked up they look to be picking up some players in the international draft to replenish.

How do the Yankees have so much international money? We got one top 30 prospect?

...is it possible, in whole or in part, it is some MFY proxy leaking/source, trying to (further) muddy up the Harper/Nats relationship, for off season purposes, even if report is false, or not quite as represented, and Harper isnt traded?

The deal was for Buttrey and Jerez. It's in its own separate thread.

Thanks...would have loved to see what Buttrey had - that clears 2 off of the 40 man

It should be noted, although maybe not, lol, Harper had a fairly negative comment that got some press the other day after a walkoff Realmuto single when he said (paraphrasing) "That stuff doesn't happen to any other team than the Nationals" and that Pete Rose called him out at the HOF essentially saying Harper needs to pick up his game for the Nationals to have any chance.
Bill James got a lot of flack earlier in the year for saying Harper isn't a superstar.

Guess this means that Beltre isn't happening, which is too bad. We don't have to watch Nunez butcher 2b anymore, so he'll be playing 3b. If they got Beltre, Nunez would really have no spot on this roster and I don't think the Sox intend on getting rid of Nunez this year. He is starting to play a bit better.

Doesn't sound like the Sox are going to bring in another reliever. DD said unless there's something out of the blue before the deadline. Link
