Yankees interested in Hall

[giffted1]

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet.

 

Per a Ken Rosenthal update, the Brewers are close to resigning Mike Lamb, and the Yankees have shown interest in Bill Hall's services.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

They can have him for a bag of balls as long as they pay the contract.

[Yeti73]

Maybe a good package of young Yanks can be had in exchange for Hall and Cam and their 400 Ks.

[ELCABALLO45]

Hall for A-Rod, final offer.

 

 

But seriously, We are probably not going to get much for him but if the Yanks payed the contract that would be big.

[Never Outhustled]

I assume the Yanks are close to sending Cano to the Dodgers, and Hall would be there 2B. I've always thought that a team with a middle infield need would take a chance on Hall.

Agreed, and that would be great.

[piccione88]

Assuming the Yankees are taking on most, if not all of Hall's contract what could the Brewers expect in return? Would someone like J.B. Cox, or Alan Horne be too much?

[Fatter than Joey]

eh.... We will probably get that Maxim St. Pierre guy or his Yankee equivalent... At this point, I'd be tickled to move the contract, especially if that makes something else happened.

[JohnBriggs12]

I find it interesting that the Hall rumor starts after CC meets with Yankees. Cashman probably asked if there were any players in addition to Cameron who would make becoming a Yankee easier.

 

Glad to hear the Brewers look like they'll bring back Lamb. Even if Gamel eventually takes over at 3rd, Lamb is great in the role of lefty PH. If Hall is traded, it could open up a roster spot for Casey McGehee who's having a nice winter ball season.

There was talk about the Yanks signing Punto for a utility role. Hall is basically a super utility player so it seems he would be ideal for the Yanks. Packaging Hall & Cam to the Yanks sure would free up a lot pf payroll for other transactions although the trade would create more holes to fill

[GoudaBrew]

I'm not sure about that. Aren't the Dodgers very close to signing Blake, allowing them to play Dewitt at 2nd?

[CportBadger]

Getting rid of Hall might free up enough $$ to get in on a closer.

[JohnBriggs12]

How about Cameron and Hall for Johnny Damon? Damon's got one year left at $13 million and a partial no-trade so whether it would be possible, I don't know but he'd be the guy I'd like on their roster.

You realize that the reason that the Yankees are interested in Cameron is because Johnny Damon can't really play center field anymore, right?

 

I'd like the guy on my team sure, but he is really only a left fielder at this point in his career. Personally I would like to get younger talent to build around in return for Cameron. I would also like to free up money so it can be spent in other more pressing areas. That is just one fan's preferences though.

[Hate those Rodents]

I wonder if CC wants the Yanks to get Hall and Cameron. I'd love to dump those two contracts if possible (though I realize Cameron should yield somewhat of a decent return).

[twobrewers]

Is CC good friends with Suppan?

[BrewCrewForever]

Is CC good friends with Suppan?

Ha, that is funny.

 

I dunno what kind of return we would get for Hall. I'm actually somewhat intrigued by a Lamb/Hall platoon. That might not be that bad.

[Dmiles23]

Is CC good friends with Suppan?

Ha... maybe we should add an incentive into CC's contract, that if he can talk the Yankees into taking Suppan he can earn an extra 8 mil per season over the next 2.

 

CC: Yeah... Suppan is my best bud! If you trade for him, I would be glad to play in New York.

Cashman: Really? I'll get right on that. I'll call you back after the deal is done.

CC: Hello?

Cashman: Well... we just acquired Jeff Suppan for you. The deal is done, and your contract is ready to sign.

CC: I just got word the Brewers upped their offer by $16 million, so I think I'm going to take their offer. Sorry...

Cashman: But you said...

[PrinceEatMeat]

Haha, that would be great if something like that happened. CC probably has the Yankees eating out of his hand, so he could definitely get them to do something dumb like that. It would be great to see.

[logan82]

Unless we are getting a 3B back in return or plan on signing one, I wouldn't want to trade Hall. His contract sucks, but he is an excellent right hand half of a platoon and a good defender(I still don't like Bill Hill).

[Oldcity]

Bill Hall is a very good right-handed platoon partner, but that's not even close to worth what he's being paid. If they can move his contract for free I'd do it and then address third base afterwards.
