not sure what we could get for Betances right now -his future is questionable until he starts throwing & shows he still has control & heat. there was reason the Sux didn't resign Ellsbury & we're still paying for that contract - Kimbrel doesn't really impress & there was reason he didn't get a contract including he over-valued himself.
I hear that. The reason I think we could work a deal is because the need for RP (Mets) vs. SP (Yanks) seems like an agreement could be reached if spiced with a choice of positional players.
And Kimbrel remains out there. Yes, he proved hitable last year, but as history showed us (with re. to pitching) we saw Luis Tiante and Mike Torres and Roger Clemens all made the transition with success. Perhaps Kimbrel would reach a little deeper into the tank with future red sox games.Also think as no one is jumping to sign him, as time goes on, he may be more flexible in his terms.
