Trade Sonny Gray. ( Going to the Reds)
Yes! The Yankees and Reds have agreed on a Sonny Gray Trade after all!
The Yankees are sending Gray in exchange for No 7 prospect in the Reds system Shed Long!
The trade isn’t official yet, because Long is on the 40 man roster and the Yankees must make room for him.
Adam Ottivino will replace Gray, but the Yankees must release someone to make room for Long. It will most likely be Pitcher Ben Heller stay tuned!!!!
In other news...
The Yankees have discussed trading for All Star 3B Nolan Arenado from the Colorado Rockies.
Expect these talks to ramp up if the Yankees miss out on Machado.
MACHADO:
Reports have come out and said that the White Sox are working on a maximum 8 year deal with Machado.
It will be 3 years , before the Chisox have a team option. If they choose to use it they can upp it to 8 years.
If they decline it , Machado will have a player option in year 4, and can become a Free agent then.
BUT NOW, we are getting reports that a “ Mystery team “ has offered Manny a huge contract, as Manny will go for the highest offer regardless of who it is. The question is who in the world in this “ Mystery team”?
