Everything I've heard is that the Twins don't want Wang or Cano because they don't want to have to pay either of them.

Also, Wang on turf will have a negative impact on his effectiveness.

True on both accounts, and if I'm the Yankees, I'd rather unload Kennedy than Wang.

If I'm the Twins, I'd still probably have Wang over Kennedy. If they don't want to pay him, they could trade him for more than they can get for Kennedy. Even with the turf affect, Wang carries far less risk than Kennedy and I don't know that Kennedy makes up for it with upside. In fact, Kennedy's ceiling is pretty much Wang.

according to Kevin Goldstein, Kennedy's ceiling is a #3 (and he is basically already there)

Funny, looking at those projections, the Yankees have 6 players who project to hit better then the avg. 1b/dh. The Twins have 2. The Yankees have 11 better then the avg. CF. The Twins have 4.

FWIW, Carlos Gomez (of BBTF/HBT) likes Kennedy's mechanics to hold up better than Hughes over the long run.
