Email
PrintThe writers here at Pinstripe Alley will be updating this throughout the day with any meaningful transactions that are made. Keep the trade talk here, and the game talk in the game thread.
4:15: Final news. Red Sox acquire Erik Bedard, Trayvon Robinson, and Josh Fields in three team deal, including many prospects going between Dodgers and Mariners.
Yankees did NOT make any deals today.
4:00: No more moves to announce, but stay tuned. Some deals aren't reported until after the deadline.
3:25: Pirates get Ryan Ludwick from Padres.
2:56: Rumors had Wandy Rodriguez heading to Cleveland for two prospects, but those turned out to be false, not surprisingly.
Yankees currently have very little going on, though they are interested in Ian Stewart of the Rockies.
The Yankees current talks with the Astros about Wandy Rodriguez are dead, as the Astros want prospects and the Yankees to eat the contract.
The Red Sox are working hard to get deals done, but nothing has happened yet.
Heath Bell is still available.
2:34: Rangers acquire Mike Adams from Padres for Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland.
1:40: A's trade Brad Ziegler to Diamondbacks for Brandon Allen and Jordan Noberto.
12:50: 50/50 chance of a Wandy Rodriguez deal happening, Yankees one of teams involved.
12:44: More non deadline news, Yankees see Jesus Montero as someone that can help the team soon. Awesome.
UPDATE: 12:37 PM: Non trade news, but Manny Banuelos' next start will be in AAA.

Josh Norris asked this on Twitter
How confident are you guys that we end up keeping Banuelos, Betances, Montero (percentage for each)?

I just want to keep ManBan and Betances. Gotta at least see what they can do at the Major League level. If Montero brings a piece to help take us to the Series I’d be all for it.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
Romine and Sanchez
make Jesus more expendable than the B’s. Agree.
I’d have to be blown away but i would trade Montero. Not the B’s
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
Seeing as neither one of those guys are even close to Jesus’ level, no they don’t.

Sanchez is 18 right now and is hitting a 101 wRC+ in A ball. When Murphy was 18 in A ball, he had a 98 wRC+. When Romine was 18 he wasn’t a pro yet, but at 19 in A ball he hit 120 wRC+. When Montero was 18 in A ball, he hit a 142 wRC+.
So none of those guys were as good as Montero at the same age.
So now the guys in the subway are saying Jesus is coming on October 21, 2011, but that would mean he wouldn't be on the playoff roster, let alone be eligible for it. I really don't know where these guys are getting their information from...
But Sanchez has advanced defense…..with his 26 passed balls already this season.

That’s fine and dandy. So this translates into automatic success in the Majors? That’s the sense I’m getting from you guys.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
No, but what it means is that Montero is better than the others, so he has a better chance of having more success at the major league level.

That I kinda agree with, “chance”. But the list of top prospect flops is long. And the list of surprises is just as long. I’m just trying to make the point that there is no guarantee from any of these guys and since we have all these capable catchers(plus Martin), if Montero can bring us a piece to the championship puzzle, he needs to pull the trigger.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
Sigh. Did you read it? It says "capable catchers (plus Martin)
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
i read it and the context in which you wrote it implied that you were grouping him with the capable minor league catchers without excluding the ‘capable’ from Martin. you also imply that Martin is a better option or a just as good option in the wake of Montero being traded. Martin sucks. He shouldn’t be full time catcher with or without Montero
this is really getting old
I implied nothing. Get over yourself
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
the context of your sentence did. Get over yourself. Your disagree-with-the consensus-just-because is getting pretty old too
Good Lord
So if someone disagrees with the sheep it gets old? Lol. 7.

you’re like a child sometimes yet you claim to be the only mature person here. If you believe Romine is a better option or makes Montero expendable, prove it with facts because there are tons of facts saying that Montero is better than Romine and therefore Romine is expendable. I don’t care what you believe
Happy Birthday! Now you’re 8! Just like me and every other arrogant poster here!

No one that’s worth a damn is available. If Cashman could get Josh Johnson or Felix Hernandez or Clayton Kershaw for Montero, don’t you think he would? He’s not going to pay a gold coin for something that’s only worth a copper one.

This always makes me laugh. The guys you named for an unproven Montero whose catching skills are questionable and whose numbers are way off from last season. He’s worth a 2 straight up at best. Unless packaged with another top prospect we ain’t getting an ace. lol.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
Well yeah, it would require more than just Montero, but Cashman has made it clear that he will only include Montero in a trade if it’s for a legit ace.

well, some of those guys did flop. Regardless, when a position player is a top 10 prospect in baseball, the odds of him succeeding are much higher than the odds of him flopping. Pitchers are another story, though.

Romine isn't at Montero's level
and Sanchez isn’t as good at his age as Montero was. Montero makes Romine and Sanchez (And JR Murphy) expendable.

I found it curious
that Cashman wouldn’t part with ANY of them in the Jimenez talks. Odd.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
they weren't asking for them
they were asking for the better players. What’s not odd is you thinking that it may mean Cashman thinks the other Cs are better then Montero.

What? I didn’t say anything of the sort and was not thinking it. I just thought it odd that we have 3 very C prospects and he wouldn’t part with any of them. The arrogance of a couple of you here lately on PA is getting stale.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
It’s not that he wouldn’t part with them, it’s that nobody asked for them. They wanted Montero, and I don’t think there was anyone available that Cashman thought was worth giving up Montero for.

wasn't he willing to part with him for Ubaldo?
I thought he was willing to part with Jesus but not any of the three pitchers they asked for.
CALL UP JESUS MONTERO!
yeah, you’re kind of right. He was reportedly willing to trade for one of Montero/Betances/Nova, but not all three of them.

Vlad would make a great DH for the rest of the season
Play him maybe 4 days a week instead of Posada
I know, nobody’s said he’s available
Harden?
Bosox set the table for that trade and it collapsed. Price is moderate. He could be a gem. Did well Thursday. A risk

Red Sox are going to be in trouble if they don't get a pitcher.

If Astros pick up part of his salary and we don’t have to give up any good prospects, then I would be fine with this. Wandy would be a solid third starter, he’d be a #2 on most teams.

Curry is usually pretty reliable
though if Banuelos is in the majors before Montero that is completely ridiculous.

If Banuelos makes his MLB debut before Jesus Montero
It’s just another way of saying that there’s absolutely no reason for Montero to still be playing in Scranton everyday.

Yeah, I know. The movies were pretty damn comparable to the books, very well done.
I bet it's good to be playing again, huh?
You mean in quality as opposed to plot?
I’d agree with that, maybe going so far as to preferring some parts of the movies over parts of the books (the third, in particular.)
As for storyline, the second and third movies share only a name with the books. I’m not sure it matters who wrote the books, as long as the movies can take the titles.

It's called "The Bourne Legacy," and Damon won't be in it.
However, Jeremy Renner has been cast to play the new protagonist. I’m hoping this movie sets up a 5th where (Matt) Damon returns.
Meanwhile, the Astros have taken their 2 (most?) popular players and sent them off.
Doesn’t give their fans much to be happy about in the near future. It would suck to like that team right now.

When their AA (then AAA) team played in the town where I live, I had a kind of soft spot for them.
I went to half a dozen of the Express games last year, and they were pretty brutal even then.
(Note: now that the Round Rock Express is the Rangers’ affiliate, I’ve found I’ve lost that interest in the Astros, and it obviously hasn’t transferred to the AL club.)

Yeah, he’s an above average pitcher. People on BR are flipping 5 shits, “OMG, HE HAS A CAREER ERA OF 4.11!” Yeah, but in the last 4 years it’s been 3.38 with good peripherals to back it up. Plus, he’s a LHP with pretty good ground ball rates, which is the ideal pitcher for Yankee Stadium.

I actually think Wandy would be a better fit than Ubaldo would have been. Very similar peripheral numbers over the last 3 years, but Wandy plays in a division with better offense and is left handed.

the Yankees are going to have a ton of spots filled for future seasons
And a ton of in house options as well. Burnett is signed through 2013, CC will be here a while. And then you have Phil Hughes, Ivan Nova, both Killer Bs, Adam Warren, David Phelps and others in the minor leagues. And there will be some free agent options over the next few years as well that are better guys to have in the rotation than Wandy Rodriguez.
I think the future looks pretty bright rotation-wise for the Yankees. I have no interest in Wandy.
CALL UP JESUS MONTERO!
Killer B’s aren’t ready, good to have a sure thing for the rotation.
Wandy could help now, and future. Let Warren and Phelps take over if/when someone gets hurt.

Well who would you take out for Wandy?
There are six starters right now, and they’re either trading one away for Wandy (which I will be furious about), or they will now have seven starters. Who do you replace?
In the offseason, Garcia and Colon are probably gone, but that leaves CC, Burnett, Hughes and Nova in the rotation at least for next season. I see that Wandy could take up the fifth spot, but there are free agent options (Yu Darvish?), and minor league options that I’d rather go with. And I’d be surprised if at least one of the Killer Bs didn’t debut at some point next season.

Wandy would probably take the Hughes/Nova spot, then be the third starter in the playoffs.

I don’t want to worry right now about Phelps/Warren/Betances/Banuelos and when they will be ready. You never know if they’ll Hughes or something (lose velo, etc) or Brackman (lose all ability to pitch) and Wandy is a sure thing.
For now, I don’t believe Garcia and Colon will both last the season. Stick Wandy in there for now, figure out between the rest who gets demoted or whatever, insert said pitcher for Colon/Garcia. Best case scenario you have way too much depth. Fine with me.

Snow Leopard was great.
I would have been perfectly happy staying with it if my Lion upgrade hadn’t been free. I didn’t use some of the programs people loved Snow Leopard for like Expose and Spaces, but it seems like they are disappointed in the changes to those in Lion. I have had a regular Macbook and now a Macbook Pro and I have loved them both. I think they are tremendously user friendly once you get the hang of the Windows to Mac differences. No viruses is definitely a plus. Their customer service is the best I’ve ever dealt with.

Why shouldn’t they? The Yankees have historically been willing to do “whatever it takes to get their man,” so you might as well ask for the moon and the stars, because the Yankees have always dealt from a point of desperation. Hopefully this is the first step of the Yankees ending that trend.

That was a different era, when Steinbrenner was behind everything. Since Cashman has taken over, they’ve said no to lopsided deals like Hughes, Joba, Kennedy and Melky for Santana, or Nova, ManBan, Betances and Montero for Ubaldo.
Just seems like it takes that extra prospect from the Yankees. You’d think teams would start to understand that the Yankees value their prospects just like every other team does.

It is insane, but no one wants to "lose" a trade to the Yankees.
If a certain duo of brothers had their way, I’m sure more teams would be successful in robbing us blind. We’re fortunate to have Cashman who doesn’t just say “OH, OK!”, and ships off the whole farm for one guy.

That’s why two trust-fund babies shouldn’t run a professional baseball team.

I know you weren't serious
But Cash has been very professional in his dealings. I’d think he has a pretty good reputation around the league.

I'm pleased
Teams wanted the entire farm system and Cashman’s first born for players that wouldn’t help that much. I’m sure they will make some value deals in August.

Loved Cash's comment on Montero

Well what do you know. Nothing.
Fantastic job, Cashman. Now burn Mitre and get Jesus up here now.

Mitre is a witch?
That explains everything.

Other than abhorrent stupidity, I can't think of another reason

I'm high on Cash love right now because of his sane approach to the trade deadline
If he DFAs Mitre too, I’ll have to start pinching myself.

Was he sane or were the other GM's who wanted all of the Yankees farm just crazy?

Seems like there weren't any good fits
Which is fine. Everybody had their right to ask for the whole farm. I just love it that ge refused, then talked about (or at least hinted) that Montero and Man-Ban could help this year. This year!

Hey, I pretty much said that the only reason that Jesus wasn't up already
was because Cashman was saving him for the trade deadline to see if he could get something for him. He couldn’t, so there’s really no reason he shouldn’t be up shortly, outside of witchery or abhorrent stupidity.

Agreed
If it does somehow come to that, I vote for witchery.

Lol Rosenthal calling the Yankees a "loser"
No one cares, bowtie.
Unless you're a pitcher or Gustavo Molina, kindly SWING THE BAT and ignore the Binder's bunt signal.
I’m so surprised
