Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
The Yankees would be foolish to deal Cano, Hughes and Montero in a package for Felix. While he is and will continue to be great, that's a hefty package.
They need to just go into next season with what they have. If it isn't working, there's always the trade deadline. This panicking is just going to lead to them making a dumb trade that comes back and bites them. Try and remember you have two pitchers making a billion dollars, plus Phil Hughes and probably Andy Pettite, who also makes ace pitcher money on one year deals. If that isn't serviceable enough, then you need to fire Cashman now. It would be good enough for most teams in the MLB to win.Comment

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
Yeah, it's not a question of worth. Along with Lincecum, I'd say he's the most valuable starter in the league right now, since they're both so young and both so ridiculously dominant. It would just take way too much to get him from the Yankees perspective. You have holes in your rotation? Well you're going to have even worse holes in your infield/lineup/and franchise in general, if you trade for Felix.

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
The problem now isn't not having an elite rotation, it's barely having a rotation. If Pettitte doesn't come back our rotation is CC,Phil, AJ, Ivan Nova, and Sergio Mitre. Long story short, we're going to get lit up unless AJ bounces back, which who knows if we can rely on him.
This problem is only exacerbated because the Red Sox got better this offseason. I'm not saying that we won't make the playoffs, because we almost definitely will, but if we can improve our rotation in any way, that's an opportunity we need to capitalize on.Originally posted by G PericoIf I ain't got it, then I gotta take it

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
Sure it does. It guarantees that the Mariners have no reason whatsoever to even think about dealing Felix for another 2-3 years (Hernandez is locked up through 2014). Bad teams only trade away stars if they're afraid of losing them to free agency within a year or two, or if they're budget-conscious and are looking to cut payroll. Seattle doesn't qualify.Originally posted by Thrash13Dr. Jones was right in stating that.

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
The Yankees don't have enough top tier prospects to get a deal done anyway and simply offering their most affordable players wouldn't do it either.
If Jack Z. were to even consider trading Hernandez at this point then he should be fired immediately.Comment

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
What I've heard is that Felix just does not want to play in New York for the Yankees. I am not sure on why.Comment

Re: The Yankees want King Felix...
I think I'd cease to become a M's fan if they traded King Felix now. Besides, why would we want Cano when we have Dustin Ackley blazing through the minors?
These Seattle writers are just drumming up rumors because the M's aren't even talking to the agents of the major free agents this winter. They have to get viewership somehow.Comment

Because the 10 "richest" teams are going to be able to buy Felix out of his no-trade clause.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment
