"With outfield prospect Aaron Judge not far off, the Yankees could dealBrett Gardner for pitching. It's plausible to imagine a Gardner-for-Andrew Heaney swap, considering Angels GM Billy Eppler was Brian Cashman's assistant and likes Gardner's defense, speed, and leadoff capability."

 

[Chuck]

I wouldn't do Heaney, but I would look at a Santiago for Gardner or Skaggs for Gardner swap.

[Erstad Grit]

Wilson or Santiago hell ya!

[laagamer]

Heaney? Please let this be a ****ing joke.

 

EDIT: Give up our best young SP for a 33 year old lead-off hitter. How insane is our FO?

I could see them doing Santiago, not Wilson. Or Skaggs. They want young pitching.

 

There's a helluva lot of things that can happen in ST, so we shouldn't bank on the Nava/Gentry platoon yet. Hell, if one or both of those guys suck and our SP's are looking good, I can see a trade happening. 

 

We just have to be patient, which none of us are.

The moment I post in an another thread that our one hope for remaining competitive over the next several years is the emergence of Andrew Heaney and Tyler Skaggs you have to go and post this. lol

[The Dude]

Id be cool with Santiago or Wilson, but that's about all id give up for him.

[DailyHalo]

This has to be a total rumor. People don't hear about our negotiations and Heaney should be a fixture of this rotation for years.

We can't afford to replace Heaney long term, and with the trade of Newcomb and Ellis there is no one in the system capable of stepping up.

This trade proposal is not coming from the Angels, it's from a Yankees fan site. Edited January 21, 2016 by notti

If we do this then I will lose all hope for Eppler.  

[Stradling]

The only way you trade Haeney is if it's for one of the young guys from the Cubs.

[UndertheHalo]

Theres no way this could be for Heaney.  CJ Wilson would probably look good in pinstripes.

 

Gardner

Escobar

Trout

Pujols 

Calhoun 

Cron

Nava/Gentry

Peres 

Simmons

 

not so bad.

[ABC]

What chatter? This looks like a sports writer making shit up just to create some content.

[bloodbrother]

This would be insanely moronic by the Angels, so it makes sense

Um you have four outfielder, a dh and no 2nd baseman in your lineup.

[Stradling]

There's zero chance this trade goes down.

[ABC]

Brett Gardner lf
4 years/$52M (2015-18), plus 2019 option

Gardner is a. 250 hitter with limited power and a mid 700 OPS in Yankee Stadium. He is not worth an Andrew Heaney trade proposal, the fanboy who wrote that article is as hot stove lucid as CJ Wilson trade junkies here.

[Blarg]

Some would say you still haven't included a second baseman.

[Angelfaninidaho]

Skaggs or Tropeano would be OK. The guy was an all-star LF'r last year.

I can see them doing Santiago, Skaggs or Wilson. I'd like to hang on to Skaggs. We need all the young SP we can.

[Blarg]

He would have a 640 OPS playing in Anaheim.

[ABC]

Why trade for Gardner when they could have signed Upton?
