Yankees Getting A Ton Of Calls On Brett Gardner


According to Andy McCullough the Yankees have been getting significant interest from teams calling about the availability of center fielder Brett Gardner. The line of thinking seems to be that since the Yankees have signed Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran that Gardner would be available but the Yankees, as of right now anyway, seem to be willing to hold on to Gardner. Gardner is one year away from free agency and has been one of the better defensive outfielders in the game for a few years now. Not to mention the prospect humper in me wants to keep the last real outfielder we developed and used out of our farm system since probably Bernie Williams.

If a team wants to blow us away with an offer, like say a starting pitcher, then I think we at least have to consider it but in the end I want Gardner in pinstripes in 2014.

  1. I agree, Gardner's too valuable to trade. Unless somebody's giving us an ace-like starter, I don't want to give him up.
