Just to mix things up
ByApparently, the Yanks were talking to the White Sox about a Abreu for Jermaine Dye swap. Neither is hitting particularly well. Abreu has the advantage of his usually-high OBP. Jermaine Dye is more of a power hitter.
At this point, 1) it can’t get much worse and 2) we could use another power bat. At worst it’s a wash. If this is a real possibility, I urge Cashman to pursue it. There is nothing to lose at this point.
If Dye isn’t afraid of padded walls, then I say go for it.
I would do it.. It probably could help both teams..
Dye has much more power but is very slow…
There really is no reason not to at this point. Dye can’t be any worse than Senor Hustle.
Plus, Dye is a right-handed bat.
is dye in the last year of his contract ? if so do it
Yes, he’s in his final year.

2 years/$10.15M (2005-06), plus 2007 club option
* 05:$4M, 06:$5M, 07:$6M club option ($1.15M buyout)
* club exercised $6.75M 2007 club option 10/06
As an added bonus:
After the Yankees decline Abreu’s option, they’d be hesitant to offer him arbitration. Hence, no compensation. But at $6 million, Dye would certainly be offered him arbitration. Hello draft pick.
