The July 31st trade deadline is one of my favorite times of the year. Its that point where every baseball fan seems to break out their general manager business suit, and propose ideas that you’d never fathom, for better or for worse. I’ve always been reluctant to take trade chatter seriously, but it’s also easy [...]
Looking back at last year’s trade deadline, the big name connected with the Yankees was starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez. Supposedly, the Rockies wanted a package of Jesus Montero, Ivan Nova, Manny Banuelos, and Dellin Betances. As ridiculous as that sounds, initial prices are meant [...]
As the trade deadline approached, I became increasingly confident that the Yankees were going to be spectators. The Bombers certainly would have benefited from getting Ubaldo Jimenez, but there were enough question marks surrounding his price to make me doubt any eventual deal. Now that the dust has settled on this [...]
The trade deadline is ever approaching and the rumors are swirling harder and harder. We heard yesterday that the Yankees are intensifying their pursuit of Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda and, of course, they’re still in on Rockies’ right hander Ubaldo Jimenez. So, I think this is a good time for [...]
After appearing to be out of the race for Colorado’s right handed pitcher, the Yankees apparently have the best chance to land Ubaldo Jimenez (h/t RAB).
That seems to conflict with what Jayson Stark wrote earlier, when he said that the Rockies still want “three sure-thing young players, including [...]
It’s pretty rare that a top-flight pitcher who is signed to team-friendly contract for multiple years becomes available, as is the case with Ubaldo Jimenez. The most common comp I’ve seen bandied about by the guys who do this stuff for a living has been the 07 Dan Haren deal. [...]
Let’s keep the Mania going and punch Ubaldo Jimenez into one of my favorite tools in all of the baseball internet land: the the Trade Value Calculator from Beyond the Boxscore.
When we punch Ubaldo into there–using his current fWAR and splitting his salary in half for simplicity’s sake–while incorporating the [...]
…there are other things going on in the Yankee trade-o-sphere aside from the Ubaldo Jimenez mania. Here’s a few hits from the last few days…
The Yankees and Rockies apparently discussed Ty Wigginton. Wigginton is signed through 2012 at $4M and has a 2013 option that’s also worth $4M and [...]
How the mighty have fallen. Just a year ago Ubaldo Jimenez was as untouchable a player as there was in all of baseball. He posted back-to-back months with an ERA well below 1.00 in April and May, and many analysts were suggesting that he was the game’s best pitcher. He floundered in the [...]
Some Yankee-related tidbits floating around the web today:
- Ubaldo Jimenez isn’t necessarily on the trading block, but the Rockies are apparently willing to listen to offers. You’d have to figure a deal would require bare minimum Jesus Montero, Manny Banuelos or Dellin Betances and probably two [...]
