I wonder who Ellsbury will be traded for in the offseason. That kind of talk ruins the clubhouse.
They owe him so much money, they may not be able to trade hi,. Why do you think they kept Alex Rodriguez so long?
Believe me, the Yankees would have traded Ellsbury in a heartbeat to ANYONE. They’d even eat most of his salary to be rid of him. I don’t know WHAT they were thinking giving him such an enormous contract, but he’s been a far below-average hitter since they signed him. (He NEVER was worth 1/10th of what they paid him, a #7-type hitter.)
The one thing is that he did have a better season this year than he’s had with the Yankees, and MAYBE someone might be willing to take him if the Yankees agree to pay most of his salary.
