[Sherman] Can confirm @Ken_Rosenthal report, Yankees and Dodgers have a 2-for-1 trade agreed upon that enables LAD to clear 2 40-man roster spots for Joe Kelly/Ohtani. Heard the deal is in physical review. If goes expect NYY would trade a prospect for end of roster pitcher plus a prospect.

Well we need pitching depth for sure so can’t hurt
Ryan Yarbrough, you are a New York Yankee
Love the aggressiveness from the Yankees this offseason, feels like the Yankees are acting more like the Yankees so far. Now let’s get Yama 🙂
Don’t hate it. Shore up the end of the rotation and get Yamamoto
Feels like the Dodgers can’t afford to be losing pitching depth but they must be confident at their chances at Glasnow, Yamamoto or Cease
Hoping for Michael Busch, dude can mash and doesn’t have a spot for them. Good first base backup and could start some at third
Mookie Betts, you are a New York Yankee
Sounds cool, but if this eventually allows LAD to land Yamamoto I’ll be bummed
Max Muncy would actually make a lot of sense for 3B. Not a great 3B but I think he just has 1 year left on his deal and another lefty bat. Can’t really count on DJ to be an everyday player and he could also be a super utility playing regularly even if not a starter.
A lot of people are looking at lesser known guys but I could see this happening. I’m not sure what other 3B they have on their 40-man roster, but they could put Taylor at 3B if needed.
Ryan Yarbrough and Michael Busch for Roderick Arias, who says no?
Teams swap top prospects, Yankees get a good spot starter and a lefty-3B prospect, Dodgers get a young and promising shortstop with many years to grow in their great system.
Sure, sure a roster spot for Yamamoto we are helping them with…
Can we get bobby miller?
i have a feeling the pitcher is going to be Bryan Hudson. 6’8 lefty reliever.
I’m going to guess Vesia and Treinen based on absolutely nothing
It better not be position players. Bullpen arms would be welcomed.
Go get Busch.
I think pen help and a player in the minors but on the 40 man coming to Yanks.
Is there any update on which players? Been looking everywhere and don’t see it
I love the dodgers for being the only other team to piss off 30 MLB fanbases like we do
It’s a pitcher like Ryan Yarborough/Yancy Almonte + a prospect that is on the 40 man roster.
Prospects on the Dodgers roster are
Michael Bush, Gavin Stone, Nick Frasso, Andy Pages, Landon Knack, Jorbit Vivas, Kyle Hurt.
Varvas duplicates Peraza do probably not him. Pages is an OF so probably not him.
On our side it’s a prospect that is not on the 40. Most of our prospects aren’t but considering all those guys are top 10 Dodger prospects it’s probably someone top 15 on our system at least.
I’ll take Will Smith.
Finally Cashman does something. This is the trade i have been waiting for all offseason….
Yency Almonte and Andy pages for Carlos Gomez
God I hope it’s Eric Gagne
