Sad to see him go, but I wish Mac the best. We just can't pay him what he's worth.

Brian should rack up plenty of homers with that short right field porch during his last few "prime" years.

What's that do to our pick?

Absolutely nothing. Its better that he signed witha competitive team because not only do the Braves get a pick but the Yankees lost theirs.

Meant the pick we get.

4:25pm: The Yankees remain in "serious" discussions with McCann, but a deal is not close, a source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

Per MLBTR.

IF true, would be good for us, would put our pick one slot higher.

[thethe]

Its just one slot higher because the Yankees lose theirs.

Oh, it's a pick after the first round.

Depends how many of the players tied to draft picks sign where.

Ideally most of them sign with teams after the top 10 and our pick/picks keeep moving up.

Gotcha, was a lil fuzzy on the new rules

[NinersSBChamps]

Wonder how much the Yankees are throwing at him? Upwards of 85 MM?

Source: McCann close with #Yankees on five-year deal for more than $80M.

[thethe]

Yankees are going to be regretting that deal in year 4.

Am told McCann deal with Yankees will be worth close to $90 million, if not more

Thats what i want to know.

I would think he wants more than what Yadi got or at least on par with that.

6 years, 90-100 mil would be my guess.

Or 5 years, 80-85 mil.

Good for him. Wish him nothing but the best. Just thought the price was too great for us for an aging, injury prone C when we need to lock down Heyward & Freeman...

I love McCann, but that is a ridiculous contract if he ends up with something close to this. Granted I do think he'll hit better in New York, but this is real surprising.

Not to me.

FA is crazy with contracts.

I love him too but not at the rumored price, 5 years, 80-90+ million.
