TAMPA \u2014 What are the Yankees going to do in the wake of a worst-case scenario in which their ace\u2019s elbow has been opened up for an operation that will knock him out for at least a year?<\/p>\n
Nothing major immediately, in all likelihood.<\/p>\n
With Gerrit Cole undergoing Tommy John surgery, Brian Cashman signaled that because of the time of the season and because of the club\u2019s payroll situation, significant moves are not on the horizon and would be more likely around the trade deadline.<\/p>\n
The general manager left himself wiggle room, said the Yankees would \u201cevaluate what\u2019s available\u201d and smaller transactions are possible, but trades for big-time starting pitchers rarely happen until a team is willing to begin selling \u2014 which often does not happen until July.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this time of year, very little is available,\u201d Cashman said Tuesday, when Cole\u2019s elbow was being operated upon across the country. \u201cNormally, the more significant opportunities don\u2019t exist until the trade deadline.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026 You hope that you can withstand injuries and avoid injuries early, from spring training up through the [mid-July] draft, because going outside the organization is that much more difficult to do. So we\u2019ll rely on what we have, and we\u2019ll explore what\u2019s limited available in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the limited marketplace that is free agency in March, the starting pitchers remaining include veterans Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn, Patrick Corbin and Spencer Turnbull. With just over two weeks until Opening Day, none would be ready to begin the season.<\/p>\n
And with the Yankees above the Steve Cohen tax threshold that is $301 million this season \u2014 last month Hal Steinbrenner said the Yankees\u2019 payroll, for luxury-tax purposes, was projected to be between $307 million and $308 million \u2014 any added dollar would come with a 110 percent tax.<\/p>\n
Trading for a bigger-name, bigger-salaried pitcher such as the Diamondbacks\u2019 Jordan Montgomery would be pricey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe costs financially are so strong,\u201d Cashman said. \u201cIt\u2019s double the money, and obviously that makes it less likely to be a more realistic chance because we\u2019re already so committed. But we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
