If Felix signs with the Yankees, I will personally burn each and every card of his I own.

Jesus Montero
Manny Banuelos

Thats what it would take to get Felix from Seattle,
Sorry.

Cliff Lee to the Yankees made full of sense a few months ago.
Carl Crawford as well.
One notable difference between Rosenthal and i is that i don't post stupid twits everytime i think.

Rosenthal said Montero, Banuelos, Betances, and Ivan Nova along with a hitter (not Cano)
Betances and Banuelos wont be big league ready for another year or two, Montero and Nova are.
Guess it depends on how bad they need pitching come midseason before the deadline.
If I was the Yanks i'd be tempted.

Well that would certainly derail the Montero, Betances, & Banuelos bandwagons, it would be perfect if it would happen but I doubt it will.HPC said:

The Yankees wouldn't be 'tempted' by the deal, they would be all over Rosenthals deal. Seattle, however would not.
People need to understand... Felix Hernandez is 24.. TWENTY FOUR years old. The top pitching prospects in the minors are 23 years old... and Felix has already been in the league for 6 years and has won a CY Young and finished 2nd the year prior. The M's have no reason to trade for him unless a team makes an absolutely stupid offer.
Felix has 4 years left on his contract and is 24 years old and looked at as the best pitcher in baseball. If a team wants him, they will have to give up the moon to get him.

As a prospector, I used to stay far away from Yankees pitching prospects.
They always seem to get traded.
Aside from Phil and Joba, I cant think of a top Yankees pitching prospect that didnt in recent years.
But I dont think their bandwagons would be completely derailed, but Delin would suffer worse than Manny.
Although, I think Joba will be traded this season.
Adding Felix to the Yankees rotation would obviously make it one of the top, but that would happen wherever he goes so that's really a moot point. But, It would definitely convince CC to stay, IMO
I dont believe Felix will leave Seattle, but if Seattle is to trade him, it would be in that kind of deal.

Seattle owes Felix 10 million in 11, 18.5 in 12, 19.5 in 13 and 20 in 14. Cheaper than Halladay, C.C. and Lee and he probably is just now hitting his prime. They would be stupid to look to move him before 2013 if even then. There is no way they could get equal value for him a trade. It would gut the team trading for him. The guys on MLB on XM were talking about Rosenthal's article this morning. The thinking was Zduriencik is on too much of a short leash with ownership for them to let this trade happen.

I personally loathe the Yankees. I was so happy when they couldnt land Cliff Lee or Carl Crawford. I really hope they dont get Felix. Its about time they realize money isn't everything.

Who are the two mystery non-MLB teams?
The indispensable Marc Carig had an interview with Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman in yesterday’s Star-Ledger in which Cashman, as he is prone to do, actually said kind of a lot. Though he acknowledged that critics will be what they are, he specifically complained about the criticism of his off-season charity work, and he also said that a lot of the speculation that followed the Rafaely Soriano signing and what that “means” was fair, though I’m still trying to parse that for any discernible meaning. More directly though, Cashman claimed that there are pieces of the farm system that are untouchable so far as trades go, presumably referring to the Killer B’s:
3. Does much of that work the past few years give you confidence you’ll have the chips to trade for a pitcher?
I have enough chips. But if people want to demand certain bullets, those certain bullets I’m not going to shoot. … There are untouchables here.
4. You talking about your young pitchers?
You can figure them out. But there are certain guys. Like Phil Hughes. I said publicly I wouldn’t want to trade Phil Hughes. I stopped trade discussion on Hughes on (Johan) Santana because he was a rare, special guy. And he’s proven that out. He’s helped us win a World Series in the bullpen, he won 18 games last year, and we have certain guys we think are potentially even better than he is. That excites us.
This will probably leave the people who complain about “prospect hugging” shaking their heads, but it’s worth stopping for a moment to consider what “untouchable” really means. After all, there isn’t a player in baseball who a team literally wouldn’t trade away no matter what another team was offering. The word “untouchable” just means that the team isn’t inclined to include a player in a trade for a player who’s likely to get moved. Neither Manny Banuelos nor Dellin Betances will be traded for Chris Carpenter or Mark Buehrle if those players become available, but if Felix Hernandez becomes available for some reason, I’m sure Cashman wouldn’t hesitate to part with all of the B’s, and more.
But for now, much like the Big Three of Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, and Ian Kennedy before them, the Yankees are clearly committed to developing their top pitching prospects into big league contributors.
