NO DICE ON ALEDMYS DIAZ?

Not sure if you all saw The New York Post's George King III piece on that Cuban shortstop the Yankees were looking at. If you haven't, I have a nice update for you, or not... depending on how you feel about Aledmys Diaz. 

 

 

It turns out that after their private workout with Diaz last Friday, the Yankees do not and will not make an offer to him. In other words... no dice. According to King:

 

"After watching Cuban defectors Aledmys Diaz and Odrisamer Despaigne work out, the Yankees aren’t going to offer the shortstop or right-handed pitcher contracts."

 

 

Diaz is demanding $20 million, and I guess with the Yankees just dumping a ton of dough toward Brett Gardner's extension and grabbing Andrew Bailey... as well as them not being "too jazzed" about Diaz, they'll take a pass. It is amazing though. I mean, reports were that this Diaz kid was dynamic and was being scouted for months now by the Yanks. I guess at the end of the day, maybe they just figured he wasn't a priority.  Read ALEDMYS DIAZ IS IN HUGE DEMAND BY THE YANKEES. That's what we wrote about Diaz last week. It's funny how quickly things change. I guess life goes on. 

If there is any other follow up news on Diaz, we'll share it with you here at Bleeding Yankee Blue. Remember... there were 7 teams in on Diaz... now apparently there are 6.
