PURELY SPECULATION, but could this happen? Are the Yankees really willing to deal their top prospect?

EDIT: I don't know what this guy's sources are, but re-reading it, it looks terrible and misinformed. Don't know if anyone else has any more insight though.

They only way they should even consider trading Montero is for Felix Hernandez. Forget Soria, etc. lol.

It would take a whole lot more than Montero to get Hernandez.

Cashman isn't that stupid, He's not trading away someone as valuable as Montero for a closer.

OF COURSE they're willing to trade Montero. Hell, they did trade him for two-and-a-half months of Cliff Lee but the Mariners apparently backed out at the last second.

He's a hell of a prospect but clearly not untouchable. And enough of all of this 'only for King Felix' nonsense. If they were more than willing to deal him for half a season's worth of Cliff Lee, then they're not holding out for Hernandez.

Until Montero is crouching behind the plate at Yankee Stadium, I will assume he's going to be dealt.

If they were to trade for Soria though wouldn't they want to move him to the rotation?

I don't think so. That's a risk that is not one they'd wager their top prospect on.
If they do that, I'll have to renounce my fanship for a day or something. That'll teach em. :lol:

They have been talking about getting rid of Montero for a while now.They love Romine.

This blog is hardly a reputable news source. This is speculation at best. The Royals would be absolutely fleecing the Yankees if they traded Soria for Montero.

I agree on the fleecing statement.

My original post was more questioning the validity of the idea "Cashman is very open to trading Jesus Montero" rather than "Would Cashman deal Montero for Soria".

You mean besides the fact that the Yankees HAVE OFFERED MONTERO FOR SORIA last year? Or did we forget about this already?

I have read it 10 times that Montero was offered in a package for Soria and were TURNED DOWN.

Maybe WE overvalue Montero. Don't you think that Yankees would value him more than us? Funny how that works, isn't it. Maybe they know something we don't.

Lol okay.

Montero at Catcher? No. First Base? No. Montero for Carpenter is quite off too, Carpenter's still a 1A, but he's getting older.

The way you worded it sounds like it's about to, or will happen.

Great posts guys.

People have been drinking their own Kool Aid too long with Montero to be objective.

Don't know about you, but I'd imagine Montero's stock is a tad bit higher than it was when he was hitting .230 with 3 HR nearly half way into the season. Someone's stock increasing due to on field performance? Unimaginable...

People have also been drinking their own hateraid too long to be objective when discussing Montero. To some, it's become a fetish to demonize him regardless of what he does.

In regards to the botom quote: I agree with you 100%. I personally believe he is somewhere in between. Not the GOD that some are making him out to be, and not the bum that others think. I think he is good, but if you can get an all star for him, I don't know why you would frown upon it, other than his cards losing value.

There is also talk of them possibly being interested in the injured headcase Justin Duchscherer...WTF?

Great, just what they need...a second AJ Burnett.
