If the Jays could trade for Taillon, I'd appreciate that. Thank you.

I was hoping they would trade for Musgrove and give up Manoah. Alas.

(I don’t see Taillon fetching a significant return given injury concerns)

If the Yankees end up getting Taillon their 2 and 3 starters will have combined for 1 inning last year LOL

Hayes is a legit star in the making but with no lineup protection I am worried about how much he can show this year.

(Do not show me studies indicating that lineup protection is a myth, they are bullshit)

If the Pirates deal Taillon, and maybe Kuhl and Brault, I gotta wonder who is gonna pitch all these innings.

This might be a historically bad rotation.

I had no idea that Australia had a league or that Delmon Dogg was a superstar down there. Apparently he’s been playing in Mexico and Australia ever since he got dropped from the Orioles.

if almost any other organization traded taillon given his injury history, i'd suspect they know something serious about his health and are trying to cash in at a nonzero price. but given it's the pirates...things are unclear.

great move by the yankees assuming they didn't give up too much. crazy rotation.

Yajure is probably the best of the bunch, and he projects as a back end of the rotation guy, so great trade for the Yankees.

Not saying it's a bad trade at all. Just that the range of outcomes for Yankee starters next year seems super wide.

They seem to have built a strategy of hiring good players with injury troubles on the theory that some of them will work out. Guys on the IL don't count against the luxury tax, so it's a pretty clever workaround.

This has worked pretty well with position players and pretty awfully with pitchers.

The Yankee rotation plan this winter has very much sounded like "get as many arms as possible and find the starts."

It might make sense to move some of these guys that are viewed as starters now in the pen like German or Garcia.

I wouldn’t complain about a sure thing beyond Cole, but unless Cashman can make other GMs forget Gleyber exists so they too can get top tier pitchers for nothing, this strat is probably the best they’ve got.

Beyond, you know, just using the vast financial resources they have as the most valuable franchise in baseball to actually try to build the best team they can.

Abreu and Garcia are clearly in the mix. The Yankees really like Montgomery. Then there's guys like Loaisiga and King. Its gonna be Cole and then whoever is healthy.

If you can move some of those lower guys for a reliable, strong starter then yeah, do it. But I gotta assume when someone says a pitcher was "more expensive" they're talking Gleyber.
