David Robertston May Be First Victim Of Yankees' Tax Mandate

But the biggest dent within reason would come from trading David Robertson ($11.5 million for luxury-tax purposes and entering his walk year). The Yanks have depth to set-up Aroldis Chapman with Betances, Warren, Chad Green and Tommy Kahnle.

Jedd Gyorko, Kolten Wong, Matt Carpenter, & David Freese Could Be Options For Yankees

The way I hear it the Pirates know what the Yankees are willing to do for Gerrit Cole and vice versa but that the discussions never became particularly heated. Movement will be needed from one side and/or both in the New Year to regenerate negotiations.

Mike Moustakas A Possibility For Cardinals

The Cardinals. Baseball ops honcho John Mozeliak has expressed reluctance in giving up prospects for a short-term solution, but if he pursued Moustakas, the Cardinals could keep their minor-leaguers and just use some of their plentiful dollars, whether in a short-term deal (or a longer contract). Royals fans would not be happy, of course, to see Moustakas move to the other side of Missouri.

White Sox & Diamondbacks Demonstrated Most Interest In Manny Machado

As of Saturday morning, the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks had demonstrated the most interest in Manny Machado, according to AL sources. Some execs involved in the talks still wonder if Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos will give a final approval to a Machado deal in the face of some negative fan reaction. But a lot of Baltimore fans are sophisticated and understand that Machado won’t re-sign with the Orioles after 2018, and that swapping him gives the franchise its best chance to acquire young pitching talent.

Cardinals Could Get Involved With Mike Moustakas

Mike Moustakas, 3B, free agent — There aren’t many options for Moustakas at the moment. The Angels have backed off in their interest for the Southern California native. The Giants may look to Moustakas if they strike out on other options, including J.D. Martinez. The Cardinals could also get involved. The Yankees need a third baseman, but they don’t appear to want to spend in this direction.
