    Yankees Acquire Chase Headley

    Yankees Acquire Chase Headley
    By Steve Adams [July 22, 2014 at 12:11pm CDT]

    The Yankees have acquired Chase Headley from the Yankees, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter links). The Yankees will send Yangervis Solarte and minor league right-hander Rafael De Paula to the Padres in return for Headley and $1MM.

    Headley, a lifetime member of the Padres, is hitting just .229/.296/.355 with seven homers this season, though he’s playing outstanding defense at third base, per both UZR/150 (+19.7) and Defensive Runs Saved (+7). Headley is earning $10.535MM in 2014, of which $3.97MM remains. He is eligible for free agency following the season.
    They got him for nothing.

    What else is new?

    I predict he hits .300/.350/.550 the rest of the year.

    Players can be obtained without gutting our minor league system. When I hear that lame excuse, it makes me shake my head and laugh in disbelief. But what do I know about running a baseball team. My piss is very ordinary, far from pure excellence.

    Who knows...I thought Lance Berkman was going to RAKE when the Yankees got him in 2010. Instead he had 1 HR and 9 RBI in 37 games.

    This is his audition. If he's good, we'll re-sign him. If not, then we didn't pay much for him. DePaula has flamed out in High A and is probably headed for the pen. His arm is awesome, so he's probably closer material. But this isn't a bad deal
    Hal sucks

    You wonder why the Red Sox didn't do this in May instead they gave Drew $10M. Bogaerts stays at SS.

    Doubront would gotten it done.

    Kind of a lopsided trade?
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Because XB is not a SS. I haven't seen ANY flashes of him that he can be good on defense at SS.
