It may be Thanksgiving, but something did in fact happen today. George King III of the New York Post has a nugget about our bud Phil Hughes who will most likely leave the Bronx, or, at least won't be invited back. This is his free agent year and so, expect movement. The movement could be a new home with the Twins. Check this out...
King says: "...the former Yankees starter who, despite a 4-14 record and 5.19 ERA this past season, is in line for a multi-year deal. 'Two years at $15 million isn’t out of the question considering the shortage of starters,' said a scout from a team not in on Hughes...The Angels — who play a bicycle ride away from where Hughes grew up in Orange County, Calif. — Twins, Mariners and Royals have interest in the 27-year-old right-hander."
Hey, I am of the belief that the Yankees ruined this kid. It doesn't mean he can't turn it around, in fact, I believe a change of scenery could in fact help him blossom again. Look, Hughes is young and Hughes has talent, but the combination of the Yankees toying with this guy and Hughes just showing no confidence in himself on the mound had destroyed him in the Bronx. Sad but true... it's also my opinion.
Whatever happens, I'll still root for the kid. I like him.
