So, now that Gerardo Concepcion went to the Cubs (read HERE), not the Yankees, and Cespedes is now off the list, signing with the A’s, not the Yankees or Marlins, that brings attention to the other Cuban defector…Jorge Soler. The Cubs appear to be the front runner for Soler right now, read HERE. The Yankees were connected to him as being one of those high interest teams, read HERE and I would love to see if they can get him, but ultimately, I’m not sure the Yanks would even bother at this time. They are knee deep in the AJ Burnett stuff and once that deal is complete with the Pirates (Heyman believes it will be soon...read HERE), they will turn around quickly and try and sign Eric Chavez who’s hopefully still waiting in the wings. It’s all strategic once Burnett is traded, if he’s traded and I think the Yankees will then go with what they know, Chavez, maybe Raul Ibanez or Johnny Damon…nothing more.
Luckily for us baseball fans, the Yankees are coming to a Tampa facility real fast… 5 days away and I can’t wait to see our boys in Spring Training Blue. Baseball at it’s best… Yankee style. You gotta love it.
