    Doubt it's related.

    Hal Steinbrenner has not given the authorization to trade any of their big pieces. So don't expect anything today on Chapman. 5 teams in him are Cubs, Indians, Rangers, Nats and Mystery team.

    Sale is probably not going to Boston. Discouraging word on Rangers. And don't sleep on the Dodgers. And they would have to give up Urias.

    Cashner has a lot of interest. Astros and Marlins are interested in him. Went from 5 to 10 teams recently.

    All this according to Jon Heyman on the MLBN.
    Not sure what Hal's waiting on. I know the Yanks just took 3 of 4 and now 2 of 3 against Baltimore and now the Giants but still. If he dosen't let Cashman sell then they better upgrade the team somehow. Don't ask me how but they better find a way if Hal won't allow the team to trade veterans as this team just isn't good enough as is.

    I geuss I kind of understand the dilemma. After this recent run the Yankees have been on I'll admit part of me kind of wants them to hang on to their guys too.

      That's what Heyman said. He said that they will see how the first game or 2 go against Houston and then make a decision. Because there is still over a week until the deadline.

          There's no ****ing reason to wait. This offense made it to a playoff game last year and got shutout at home, our offense has not improved. This team can't win. Get the prospects.

            You don't have to "be a seller" or "be a buyer."

            I hate this simpleton categorization sports has turned into. You can make whatever moves are available to be made. If there's a way to improve the team with one trade, but offload some older guy in another, there's literally no reason why the Yankees or any other team can't do both.

              Cubs fans how do we feel?

              Gleyber Torres, who's been scratched, was in offer to Yankees. Torres plus for chapman is on table. #cubs #yanks

              That's not really true in our case. Our team strength is far and away the three headed monster, take a piece away and a lot changes. Once the ball drops with Chappie, they should just open the floodgates. But I don't believe this is about winning, I think it's about ticket sales, and for that reason I don't think they will.

                I like the deal. Torres will be good, but we literally have no place for him in the infield. Probably another top-15 guy in that deal....as long as it isn't Ian Happ im good with it

                  Its looking more like Chapman will go to the Cubs unfortunately, as I hate the Cubs, but in the Yankee's case they would be smart to do it, along with anyone else they could get prospects for. Yanks were my Dads team so they are my 2n favorite team, and its time for them to rebuild. Plus they basically had Chapman handed to them for nothing, thanks to Jocketty being brain dead, so they could get a haul back for him then resign him this offseason. As I dont see him wanting to stay in Chicago even if he gets traded their. As great as Chapman is even his 105 mph fb it wont be enough to break the curse of the biggest joke in sports that is the Cubs,lol. Thats what Im hoping anyway,lol, but have to say they do have a good looking team, that imo is the best team in baseball this year, so they improve their pen they unfortunately have a great shot to win it all

                      I like Gleyber (speed, defense, and contact)-- look at his stats as a 19 y/o in Hi A ball for some idea-- but adding Chapman to the club is worth it. As with any team Chapman goes to, he'll be the all-time hardest thrower in franchise history. Should be fun to watch him blow guys away. Chapman and Rondon would give the Cubs a nasty late game duo. Just need Anthony and Aroldis to pretend that they like each other.

                        What happened between Chapman and Rizzo?

                          Sounds like trying to get extension done with Chapman as well.
