Would you prefer to spend $200 or so million on Machado, when u have Andujar for another 5 or 6 years? It's a legit question I think. The Yanks could always flip Andujar for controllable pitching if they did. Personally I think Andujar is legit. He squares the ball extremely well and should only get better. Actually, I think there is zero chance Andujar is moved. He is a rookie and under long term control. The guy the Yanks might look to move to make room for Machado is Gregorius imo. Didi is a free agent after the 2019 season and they could in theory trade him in the off season while his value is fairly high and sign Machado to go play SS for them. Why pay Didi something like 20M a season on a 3-5 year deal when you can get Machado for maybe 30M(?) on a 5(?) year deal? Link to post Share on other sites

Why pay Didi something like 20M a season on a 3-5 year deal when you can get Machado for maybe 30M(?) on a 5(?) year deal? I think that's a possibility. My buddy and I actually talked about this a couple of times too. I just don't know how Machado's defense at SS is, and whether or not he could pass muster there for 5 years. I'm not saying he isn't good there, or can't stick. I honestly don't know. As for Didi, I've seen the Segura deal floated for him as possible framework for an extension. I think his was something like 5 years and $75 million. With contracts in baseball being in a corrective state, I have no idea if Didi is a $15m per year player, or $20m. I think young players will still get paid, and older players are the one's who's deals will be tempered somewhat, so Didi should see good coin imo, Link to post Share on other sites
absknicks 3,002 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 From a defensive standpoint, the difference between Didi and Machado at SS is astronomical. Didi is one of the 3 best defensive shortstops in baseball... Machado is putting up some of the worst defensive numbers we've ever witnessed at the position. No chance the Yankees do that.

Lebanasty 183 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 https://nypost.com/2018/07/13/yankees-privately-are-not-high-on-miguel-andujar-rival-execs/amp/ The title implies that rival execs think they Yankees aren't satisfied with Andujar. The entire article is basically Cashman denying that and talking him up. Compares him to Cano coming up in terms of growing into the player they feel he'll become. The question is, is Cashman further posturing here to make Andujar seem more valuable than they believe him to be in order to get a better deal somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites

And as MM ages the Yankees could move Torres to short and MM to third down the line. Its easy to say this and that will or won't happen. Thing is none of us really know. In a little over two weeks or less we will know. Link to post Share on other sites

Andujar just hit his 30th double this year he missed it earlier on a reviewed play, and got robbed for a single up the middle. still 2 more hits. i think he can even increase his power going forward. but still, 30 doubles with 2+ months left is pretty impressive from a rookie who wasnt super highly regarded on most prospects lists Link to post Share on other sites

dicka24 417 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'd love to see Machado in a Yankees uniform next year, but this kid might make that a luxury more than a necessity. He does need to improve his defense. He's not atrocious in the field so he could become a solid/servicable glove at the position with time and practice. Love the bat.

I just want to see them put him in the middle of their lineup next season and leave him there. He's actually been hitting good pretty much all season, but you don't notice it all the time because of the lack of counting stats. Obviously right now that hasn't been a problem since he's been hitting in the middle of the order with their injuries, and it's hard not to take notice when the counting stats are pouring in. It's become pretty obvious of late that the middle of the order is where he belongs. Link to post Share on other sites

Can't believe I just said that about Machado, but in their case it's true. Although I suppose they could make it work once their OF thins out next season if they let Gardner walk and just put Andujar at DH instead of an OF. I'd obviously rather see him play in the field for positional eligibility, but it's an option the Yankees may consider. Link to post Share on other sites
