雖然Cashman表示洋基的人手全都到位了, 但會不會交易呢? 他卻沒有說死。 據消息指出, 洋基對Huston Street的興趣已經減低了, 可能開始找尋其他的目標。 這種改變影響的原因有二, 一是洛磯隊目前鎖定在外卡爭奪戰上, 對Houston Street的 要價恐怕太高(可能要的對象包括Austin Jackson, Hughes等等)。至於其他的人選, 據 消息來源表示, 洋基高層目前持續觀察教士隊的Heath Bell, 今年他投出生涯最佳的球 季。其他的對象則包括印地安人的set-up man Rafael Betancourt, 目前他因鼠蹊部的 傷勢被擺進15天的傷兵名單, 還有笑臉人的終結者Kerry Wood。印地安人目前似乎有清 倉大拍賣的打算。即使印地安人已經將Mark DeRosa交易出去了, 它還是大都會隊最適合 交易攻擊火力的球隊。 至於在Xavier Nady幾乎註定整季報銷後, 有人建議洋基應該交易來一個右打的板凳 球員, 但Cashman可能不會有這個打算(NY Post則認為如果需要洋基將會將Shelly Duncan 拉上來)。目前補強的對象將放在牛棚。 http://nybaseballdigest.com/?p=12103 Report: Yankees Parked on Street, Bell and Bentencourt Possible Targets By Frank Russo ~ June 29th, 2009. Filed under: Frank Russo Rants and Raves, Rumor Mill. Our main Yankees source down in Tampa has informed us that the Yankees have “ cooled their interest” on Huston Street and are now looking elsewhere. The reason for this change is two-fold. First off, the Rockies are now fully entrenched in the wild card race. Secondly, Colorado’s asking price for Street was deemed to be way too much (Names like Austin Jackson, Hughes, etc.). As far as other options, Yankees management, as we reported recently, continues to look at San Diego’s Heath Bell, who is having his finest season ever. Other relievers who might also be available are Cleveland set-up man Rafael Betancourt, who has been out with a strained groin and closer Kerry Wood. With their trade of Mark DeRosa this weekend, Cleveland appears to be set to do a full house cleaning. Despite DeRosa’s departure, Cleveland could still be a perfect trading partner for the Mets, who are in dire need of offense. Passing Thoughts While the team has, at least for now, righted the ship offensively, there has continued to be internal discussions whether to add a right handed bat, especially since Xavier Nady is officially lost for the season. While it is highly unlikely, Cashman could make a trade for a right handed hitter who could come off the bench and also fill-in in right field. Our guess is, unless something falls in his lap, Cashman will fully concentrate his efforts on the bullpen. --
