Does anyone know how this trade affects the Yankees luxury tax standing? Do they still have to clear salary?
Maybe Headley?
Do they even care about resetting the luxury tax anymore now that they won’t be bidding on Harper?
You literally quoted me saying exactly that haha
Oh, they will be. A Judge, Harper, Stanton outfield for 2019. The rich get richer.
Headley or Gardner will likely be moved
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
And just do happens to go to the team Jeter spent his entire career too. I guess this is what MLB wants, big markets stealing good players from smaller markets. With salaries going higher this is going to be more the norm than always.
Baseball has to correct the absurd advantages big market teams have. Can't have a NBA situation here. It hurts the game.

Machado's more likely than Harper.
Stanton's cheaper than Harper and Machado fills a bigger need. If they feel they can go after him.
They're only like 140-150 in payroll now with arb and with Stanton. I could see them move Headley though still.
My Reggie Jackson comparison for Stanton is even more apt now
It is a bit disgusting how the Yankees basically sat back and had the NL MVP fall right into their laps.

MLBTR said in their offseason outlook they have about $25M to spend. Swapping Stanton for Castro leaves them around $10M to spend.
If they want to bring Sabathia back on a short deal they will have to clear one of their contacts, and with Torres and Andujar almost ready to go, the most logical one to part with is Headley.
This trade makes me eager to do business with the Marlins.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
The Yankees are getting Jorge Guzman. He’s a legit prospect.
Jeter didn’t play for the Braves. So we would not get the same treatment. However he should throw us a bone for continuing to keep cox as our manager allowing them to steal a few titles.

You needed to post this in the Mac traded to the Astros thread.

Been saying it was going to all along. A smart team took advantage of the position that the Marlins were in.
Yup. You've certainly had a better read on the Marlins intentions than I have.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

I told everybody here that the Marlins were in a bad spot and would have to give Stanton away to get to where they want to be on payroll. If you looked at the numbers and the fact that Stanton had a NT clause it was obvious.
Now, everybody's pissed because the Yankees were smart enough and aggressive enough and lucky enough (being a place Stanton would be willing to go) to get him for peanuts in talent and a minor gamble (for them) of money.
The Marlins got a guy not in the Yankees top 30 and their #9 prospect according to MLB. They also got a more powerful slower version of Dee Gordon, on a shorter deal by a year but at similar AAV. Plus they had to send a contingent $30M to get it done.
The Marlins aren't done either IMO if they are to be believed about where they want payroll to be but they will get more out of the others they move unless they move Prado.
if Yelich is on the block, AA needs to get in on him.
He's on a great contract, i'd trade some of our top prospects for him.
Yelich-Ender-Acuna would be absurd.
