12/17: Bye bye Melky?
The NY Times has an article up discussing
an updated scenario that now includes the Braves where Melky Cabrera makes his way out of New York.
The Yankees are in discussions with the Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates about a three-way deal that would send outfielder Melky Cabrera to the Braves from the Yankees, reliever Mike Gonzalez to the Yankees from the Pirates, and first baseman Adam LaRoche to the Pirates from the Braves, according to a baseball official.
I'm not real sure what to make of this. I like Melky a lot but am uncertain about his future with the Yankees and while I think Mike Gonzalez is a good pitcher, he has had elbow problems in his past and has been known to be erratic. Hat tip to
Baseball Musings.
