His numbers are too low and salary too high. Plus, he's almost 34 and signed through 2027.

LeMahieu, at $15 million, is a better bet, and unlike DH Stanton, he plays anywhere in the infield. But his numbers are suffering as well.

I think anything the Yankees have to offer would mostly be in prospects. If I was the Angels that's what I'd want. Who that might be, aside form starting pitching, I don't know.

As for Cleveland, Bieber has surfaced in trade talks (arbitration eligible in 2024), though I believe the front office is on record as saying they're keeping him through the season. They signed Ramirez long-term. Maybe they sign Bieber. There's more incentive with McKenzie's recurring shoulder injuries.

IMO the Gaurdians/Indians have done a good job handling pitchers in recent years, They rid themselves of Andrew Miller, Corey Kluber and Mike Clevinger just at the right time (and after they got the most out of them). Headcase Bauer was shipped off too.

Any offer for Clase would have to be dynamite. He's being paid a pittance.
