Well, that’s Bobby Abreau this season, and yet another reason why the Yanks need a new GM.

There are probably 10 really good kids on the market this year and the Yankees signed 3 of them.

They aren’t going to sign Sano or Mateo, probably the 2 other top kids, along with Gary Sanchez.

The Red Sox will sign 2-3 guys.

They aren’t going to just sign guys for the sake of signing them.

If you knew how they operated in the LA market, you would realize this is it.

If you want to believe otherwise, fine by me.”

SJ44,

You’re not listening to me and I’m not some kid that you usually argue with, as I’m older than you and went to my first ball game at Yankee Stadium back when the M&M boys were creating havoc. I never stated anything about signing another seven figure IFA. I already know that a Sano type isn’t in the cards with that price tag. I specifically asked about other IFA prospects in general. You know, the guys you discover through all that great scouting the Yankees do and pay for during a course of a year. The prospects that might cost 100-500K or even less.

Anyhow, I’m asking Pete, not you to ask Cashman about those type of possibilities because I read an interview conducted with Mark Newman last night that the Yankees will continue to scout and sign other prospects this year and I just wanted some confirmation from Cashman too. That’s it, nothing else.

I thought you knew how the Yankees operated, but I was wrong. Mark my words, the Yankees will sign some other IFA later this summer and it has nothing to do with Chapman.

You heard it here first.

Teams like the Yankees used their money early in the process to secure the guys they want.

Unless somebody comes along and wants to play for nothing, they won’t be signing anybody else in this period.

Its especially true now that Chapman defected. They will need all the spare change they can muster to put toward him.

I find that hard to believe that only three players will be signed which is why I want Pete to ask Cashman because Newman has stated they’re not done.
