YANKEE RUMORS & BYB: PART 24

Matt Garza: Leave it the Cubs to continue making moves. First it was reported yesterday that the Cubs and Paul Maholm were about to strike a deal so Maholm would come pitch with them. Then the Chicago Tribune reported it happened. (Read HERE). Now comes word that the Tigers and Cubs are talking about a deal. Read it HERE. We believe the Yankees and Garza could be a perfect fit. Read WHY GARZA & THE YANKEES ARE A PERFECT MATCH. I'm just not so sure the Yankees are going to pull the trigger on him and give up guys like Jesus Montero, Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances.

Manny Ramirez: Everybody just gasped in horror. The reality is, the idea of Manny Ramirez being a DH on the Yankees is so far fetched. We first wrote about Manny Ramirez being reinstated into baseball in YANKEE RUMORS & BYB: PART 20. Now comes word that he will hold a private workout (HERE) for teams to get a look. There is no doubt that I believe the Yankees should take a look. We here at BYB don't believe there should be anything future to come out of it.

Luis Ayala: The Yankees want Ayala back but there are 6 teams that are also after him so it should be interesting. Read HERE. I liked Ayala in the Yankee pen and I have not problem bringing him back. Ayala had a 2011 season consisting of a 2.09 ERA in 56 innings.

Hiroki Kuroda: Kuroda is the rumor that just won’t go away. NPB Tracker is reporting that Kuroda will stay in the United States but wants $13 to $14 million to pitch. Read about it HERE. Let's be honest, does any team REALLY think Kuroda is worth $13 million. I sure do think the Yankees or the Red Sox would be out of the mix on this one, especially since we are now preaching Yankee patience...I could be wrong though, and I'm fine with that. I just don't see how the Yankees would just dive in on Kuroda at that price, but we shall see.
