[4] They’ll say they are to drive up the price for the team that will be desperate for him: the Red Sox. I can’t imagine the Yanks would trade for Garza. He’s not worth any of the big name prospects (Sanchez, Banuelos, Williams), and he’s got two more years of arbitration left, I believe. Even if he’s only average, he’ll make at least $10M in arbitration, if not more. That’s not going to help project $189M by 2014 at all.

[4] Hmmmmmm.
My bet is that they’ll be interested, but the asking price will be too high.

Garza is good, but too risky to give up lots of talent for.

Think the Yanks will be interested in a guy like Garza?

A four-team race, maybe. But if so, the Orioles will be the odd man out.

If the Yankees can get any consistency from Hughes and Nova, I think they could pull away. Otherwise, it will probably be a four-team race into September.

Wow. That was fun to watch.

Lots of people seem to be talking about the AL East standings right now, but with so little separation, I’m not sure it matters much. Looks like the Os are starting to fade, but I’m guessing the Rays will stick around. That’s why taking the first two is so sweet.
