A number of teams have engaged with the Twins about Eddie Rosario. Nothing appears imminent, per source, but as the free-agent corner OF market begins to take shape, he could become an appealing alternative with two years of club control.

When Hal Steinbrenner, taking a page out of his legendary dad’s playbook, OK’ed the 9th year, that was the clincher on Cole talks. Yankees are getting a bit of backlash but they seem to care not one bit. Response of some Yankees people: we have the $, so too bad!

Belief is Gerrit Cole simply wanted to be a Yankee. Dodgers/Angels both were at about 300M (and likely would have gone a tad higher had he given go-ahead). Hometown thing over-rated. Yanks did nice job w/cutting-edge pitching coach Blake plus Pettitte, who knows about NY/winning

Buzz around the valley is ARZ has serious interest in Bumgardner. Not willing to pay more than $100M but Gambo and AZ Central seem to think ARZ is willing to go less than 5 years with an average between $20M - $25M a year. If Mad Bum can't get $100M then ARZ could be a strong possibility so he can stick it to his former club.

I find it odd we’d get the cash saving from trading Zack then use it on another starter way past his peak.

Is it because we (every team) needs an ace and MadBum can do it while Zack was slipping?

What playoff chance do we have without an ace?
