On MLB radio they are talking about Burnes getting 9/250 now after Fried got 8/218.

Between the Dodgers throwing money around like crazy and the Soto deal, the entire contract/payroll structure is being reset. There is stupid money being tossed out there by a very limited number of teams and everyone else is going to end up taking it in the shorts.

I wont be shocked to see Framber and Tucker traded and a full rebuild

Y'all don't have a RFer

Also not to mention if a team like the Yankees know they want to sign Tucker as a FA then there's value in having Tucker now and negotiating an extension before he becomes a FA.

To me, a "full rebuild" means trading more than just Tuck and Framber.

I don't think you have to get a bat. Tucker will make $15-20M this year. You could turn around and sign Walker or Santander with that money. Just get the best big league or near big league ready cost controlled pieces you can. Bigger problem is the team as I don't think they want to trade him to an AL rival.

Gill, Schmidt, Rice and Arias for Tucker

OR

Gills, Dominguez, Schmidt for Tucker with an extension.

LETS GET THIS DONE!

They're moving him back to RF

Then you need a CFer.

https://t.co/zm9emzBLTE How agreeing with Max Fried has given the Yankees a path to try to land Kyle Tucker, who is seen as more and more likely to be traded by the Astros. The Cubs are among the very interested pursuers.

The Astros are prioritizing major league-ready corner infielders and starting pitching if they move Tucker. In first baseman Matt Shaw (the Cubs' top prospect, according to MLB.com), third baseman Cam Smith and 2024 All-Star Isaac Paredes, Chicago has pieces that are attractive to Houston, which is bracing to lose third baseman Alex Bregman in free agency.

What makes the Yankees fascinating is that an agreement with Max Fried gives them seven potential starters for next season. The thought is that would motivate them to trade Marcus Stroman to get out of as much of his $18 million owed next year as possible and/or Nestor Cortes, who will be entering his walk year. And that might happen.

But because the top of the Yankee farm system is in a down cycle, they would have to get creative to acquire someone as talented as Tucker and Houston is said to be very interested in AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil. It is possible that Gil and Ben Rice could front a package that at least gets the Yankees to the table.

I still think some combination of Bellinger, Suzuki, Parades, and Busch from Chicago is more interesting than a package built around Gil.

1000%, especially if NY says Dominguez is off the table.

But on the flip side the Yankees seem desperate (I mean this in a good way) to recover from the Soto loss. You can probably squeeze them for an overpay.
