Giambi would make a good fit for the Rays or Jays, he is a good clubhouse guy and is still productive. Abreu would come at a steeper price so I don’t see him going for a lesser rate. Abreu could probably get more money from a wealthier club so I don’t see him in the Rays sights.

MJ, I agree with you on all counts. It’s funny how the Yankees are making terrible adjustments this off season. Yes, they need pitching BUT they were so deficient offensively that they need to add good clutch hitters pronto not soft assholes like Burnett! One more thing: no Adam Dumb please. JP Ricciardi is an idiot BUT said the truth about him. He couldn’t buy a clutch hit even if it was for free…….

Especially in the context that the offense failed the Yanks in 2008. But yeah, I’m sure the Rays would rather have Giambi @ DH than, say, Cliff Floyd

It drives me absolutely batty to think that two productive contributors for the Yanks would both be unceremoniously dumped and potentially end up on a division rival while the Yanks replace them with the far less talented Xavier Nady and Nick Swisher.

I like Cashman but this is pretty ridiculous.

As for Giambi
