Just like I found it odd San Francisco Giants were interested, even though they don't have anything worth acquiring lol<br /><br />I'll break the news first. Any team playoff bound expresses interest in one or multiple of the Yankees big three<br /><br />:D<br />Daryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405687520642126665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-69282418705028049402016-06-19T14:56:11.119-04:002016-06-19T14:56:11.119-04:00He doesn't necessarily have to go to the Cubs....He doesn't necessarily have to go to the Cubs. I was simply responding to the rumors that were circulating. When I see that the Dodgers are interested then that may change my mind. It may not. <br /><br />I'm just throwing stuff out there. Nothing is set in stone. You call it flip flopping, I call it being a fan that is entitled to change his mind. I'm not getting paid to do this so I can be passionate where a Buster Olney has to stick to his guns to "save face."

It does state the Cubs have talent and solid prospects but three of those are already off the board per many reports. The Yankees are going to want, at minimum, Double-A prospects. Not prospects they have to wait on. They will want MLB ready prospects that Chicago isn't willing to give up right now.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-32258138817669298332016-06-18T12:43:29.051-04:002016-06-18T12:43:29.051-04:00The market has a lot to do with any and every trad...The market has a lot to do with any and every trade. The offseason is a crap shoot because most teams feel like they have a chance and that the sky is the limit. Once you get into June, July and August you have a more reasonable idea of what you have in a team and what you have to offer on the trade market. <br /><br />I don't believe the Cubs are willing to move the prospects and/or MLB ready talent to get Miller. They've said as much. They are willing to move Soler and he would be a lesser loss for them, in my opinion, while acquiring a rental like Chapman. <br /><br />What's more important is obviously the Cubs adding Chapman. What leverage does the Cubs have in this hypothetical deal? Soler hasn't been great so it's his contract and that's probably the only thing that's attractive to the Yankees (since they wont trade Contreras, Baez, etc.). <br /><br />I didn't say it's the ideal trade for either team but it just makes sense in my mind for both teams. You have to give something to get something and the deal usually has to work for both sides. <br /><br />Did I answer your question? I feel like I rambled a bit lol.Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-48218099179189096472016-06-18T12:37:11.010-04:002016-06-18T12:37:11.010-04:00I'm not quite sure the system is loaded anymor...I'm not quite sure the system is loaded anymore. Not with most of those studs already in the Major Leagues. I've read on many sites, as I am far from a Cubs expert, that the system is not loaded anymore. That's why the infield and outfield is loaded with talent, they all got called up. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, again I go off what I read as I am not an expert on the Cubs nor their farm system. <br /><br />You're not going to get what you think out of Chapman. Teams have smartened up on rentals and such and in years past they haven't been paying what they did just five years back or longer. Soler is useful because he's young, cheap and controllable. He's a reasonable fetch for Chapman in my opinion. Again, I could be wrong and maybe I am. I want the world for Chapman I just don't think the Yankees are going to get it.

First the Cubs have a loaded farm system. second I don't want Soler and not staight up. Third you keep Miller as he is a lefty and has a budget friendly contract. You make sure you're not sitting with a sandwich pick like we did for Cano and Robertson and thats what scares me about this team. It wouldn't bother me in the least of they lost every game remaining as I want the high draft picks and I want prospects from other teams. No straight up deal unless its Miller for Strasburg or Miller for BryantKen Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-72655117050878958812016-06-17T10:52:39.009-04:002016-06-17T10:52:39.009-04:00I can answer that quite easy. Top flight Gm's ...I can answer that quite easy. Top flight Gm's take advantage of our inept Gm. Its that simple. The guy brought back Javy Vasquez after he melted in NY the first time so what does that tell you. If he makes any move without a top flight prospect or prospects and some decent major league talent he should be relieved of his duties immediately, however I don't think the elf will trade anyone of his relievers because they truly believe they have a shot at a play in game. The tease will start now with the Yanks beating the worst team in baseball four games.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-68221462293848419212016-06-17T09:39:25.599-04:002016-06-17T09:39:25.599-04:00can you give your opinion of that question, daniel...can you give your opinion of that question, daniel? If Warren brought us Castro, straight up, why is Chapman supposed to bring us Soler, straight up? Castro has similar #'s to soler, with like 4-5x the number of at bats. It doesn't add up. What's more important, the cubs adding chapman, or the yankees adding soler?<br /><br />Hell, compare soler to both gregorious and castro. Middle infield, 1-2 years older, significantly better. Shane Green, Adam Warren, Chapman.<br />Seems like the player with the greatest impact, to the team that most badly wants a world series, would be getting the least valuable return.Daryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405687520642126665noreply@blogger.com
