I posted my reasons about why I thought Britton wasn't a great move and in so doing acknowledged the "keeping him from a competitor" argument was a compelling one. Feel free to go back to them. Oh. You can't? Tough shit. Troll.

[kiidcarter8]

Actually, you never did.

[Yankguy1]

Actually, I guess we'll never know. Troll.
 Perhaps you can find it on my Twitter account.

You think Red Sox "needed" Eovaldi?  For what?

I am going on the premise that you did NOT think Yanks needed Britton (easy, since this is basically what you posted)

The 2 deals are identical, right down to the "we kept him from the opposition" stance.

I thought the Red Sox needed Eovaldi.

Didn't you?

[kiidcarter8]

Say what, Cash?

White Sox, Astros, Twins, A's. Phils, Mariners all play Sox tougher this year than NY

I will look

@onetitlesince00, right?

[Yankguy1]

How'd you guess?

[bankshot1]

alittle bit of added drama

alls well that ends well.

Eovaldi was a stud.

The deals were not identical.

Britton was an established star closer, Eovaldi more of a lottery ticket starter.

Sox got priced out of the reliever market but could pick-up an end of the rotation starter who might be moved to the pen, or allow someone (Pom) to be moved to the pen.

Britton had a deep market

No one else wanted Eovaldi, which is why the Sox could get him.

and fwiw when I put forth the Ys keeping Britton away from Sox/Astro's was a tangible benefit, a return response disagreed with me.

Cashman sounded like Rex Ryan crying about the Pats.

What I said was "while keeping a guy from another team" is always an argument and a compelling one, I prefer my to make trades based on what is needed and the Yankees didn't need to get a guy for whom the talent they gave up could have been used to get a guy they did need. But dammit, it's all on my Twitter page.

It was obviously a great add.

What I thought isnt the issue

I agree the Ys did not need Britton, they needed a starter, just like they did before the season started, so I assumed a part of Cashman's reasoning for acquiring a guy they did not need (Britton) and could afford, was to keep a needed asset from his competitors.

I do not recall you stating it was a compelling argument, but I do not possess perfect recall.

Closest I can come is Kid's complaining about the press being drawn to shit in their reporting about Josh Hamilton and your response to that.

I don't currently see anything archived from the AL forum later than 2012.

I always acknowledge and reject that argument. I don't think any team is good enough and wise enough to focus on another team's needs at the expense of their own.
