WOULD THE YANKEES TRADE AWAY MIGUEL ANDUJAR?

Well, the short answer is, if the right deal was there, of course.  I've said all along that if the Tribe made Corey Kluber available to the Yankees, we need to figure out how to do it and if it means that we trade away Miguel Andujar, so be it. I mean, I love the kid, I'd hate to see him go. But this is business, and that's it.

SNY had this interesting report and I just wanted to put it out there for you all to read...

"The Padres "love" Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar, according to FanCred's Jon Heyman. San Diego tried acquiring the near-American League Rookie of the Year at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wanted no part of it, per SNYtv's Andy Martino....

If New York is interested in dealing Andujar, the Padres have a great deal of impressive prospects to offer the Yankees. Their farm system is headlined by Fernando Tatis Jr., a budding shortstop grabbing national attention who is not budging from San Diego's tight grasp unless a proven Major League talent is offered in exchange..."

Very interesting... again though, I want a starting pitcher, battle tested... like... right now. And Kluber is the guy.  If we really wanted a budding infielder, just keep Andjuar for crying out loud.

Look, I have no idea is this is an idea that SNY is just throwing out there or if they have some kind of inside info. I have a feeling they're spit balling here.  Any way you slice it, I think it's pretty clear that for the right deal, Cashman would be willing to part with the kid. Let's just hope it's for some strong starting pitching.
