Gleyber Torres and Clint Frazier are NOT the hangup in a Sonny Gray deal, source says. #Athletics and #Yankees discussing other prospects.
@jcrasnick
#Yankees said "no'' on Torres, Frazier and #Athletics moved on to other prospects. The teams still haven't been able to agree on a package.
@jcrasnick
Billy Beane has given indications he's ready to take Gray into the winter if he can't get package he wants. Someone will have to blink soon.
How do you know Minny didn't value Ynoa more than Burdi? Especially with his injury concerts? B/c a website told you?
The point I made (and it's true) is that increased demand can add to the return. There's really way to debate that. Not all "40 FV prospects" are created equal.
Beane is overvaluing Gray. He may lose this one, due to comparing him to Santana. Santana has an extra year. He has a set cost, which is huge to GM's as it allows them to take risks in other areas. He's also durable and consistent. Quintana is way more valuable that Gray. I think Beane will screw this one up...like we did Teheran last year. IMHO
Morosi just tweeted A's prefer Florial to Frazier. Yanks are probably gunnna get Gray for what we view as a weak package
It may mean absolutely nothing, but Albies isn't in the lineup.
Could be a night off. Phillips could be gone as he's coming up or Albies could be outty.

Yankees remain favorites. Source says A's are no longer insisting on Torres/Frazier. Seems like they're moving closer per Feisand.
If the price is going down on Gray... then...
All the prospects for the Yankees rumored to be in the Gray deal are currently playing, fwiw.
Here we go.
@Joelsherman1
Zach Littell is a healthy scratch from his AA start for #Yankees. Maybe it's nothing -- but I bet it's something
I want no part of Gray. Only way I'd take him is for a package of middle of the road prospects.
I'd love to get Verlander, though.
And we better move most everyone on the roster not named Freeman and the youngsters. Guys like Kemp, Nick, Phillips, Johnson, Suzuki better be on the move.
Chris Cotillo just tweeted we are still in on Gray. Looking at the rumored Yankees package, I'm good with it. Just no Albies/Acuna
