So who do the Yankees get now that Arod will miss part of 2013 ?

[Enjoy Terror]

Do they still have Chavez? He's an injury risk too but he played the position well filling in for A-Rod when he was hurt this year too.

Free agent. He said he plans to play in '13 though.

You have been seeing it. Why do you think they went 1/16 for Kuroda? Why did they let Martin walk?

What deals extending into 2014 have they been signing?

If they get anyone it will be a one year deal.

Indeed. Cashman is serious about lowering payroll and being smart with his money. He knows the Cano contract is coming up as well and well need some space for that. If the yankees can be somewhat smart with their money it will go a lot further.

A-Rod expected out 4-6 months @JonHeymanCBS reports

Anyone good at web design should start a campaign up to try to get the NYY to sign Mark Reynolds for 3B.

It's unfortunate that they will just eat the contract and ship him to the Marlins.

It is scary how broken baseball economics are that ARod to Marlins makes way to much sense from every aspect that isn't fan related.

If I am Brian Cashman, I am trading Arod, Bentices, and $118M to Miami for Greg Dobbs. The $1M the Marlins owe Dobbs would be a wash with the $1M owed to ARod. Miami would take the "cap" hit but with their payroll so low it is negligible. I would wonder where Bud Selig would fall on this,

Cashman said he is unaware if steroid use contributed to AROD'S continued hip labrum, bone impingement issues.

[Crazysilver03]

I wonder if the Yankees would even attempt to buy ARod out. $130M over 20 years sounds better than $119 over 5.

For them yes, not for ARod. It would cost them a lot more then 11 million to deffer that money over an additional 15 years.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Headley.

Yeah, that's what I think.

[Can_of_corn]

Yeah, that's what I think.

He is going to cost too much. They will stopgap until 2015. (unless they manage a buyout)

[Ommaculate]

I am hearing the Yankees are going to get Youkilis.
