DL for Gleybar

 

[Shawn91111]

I'm still hoping Sterling loses the Stanton HR call at some point

DL for Gleybar

Gotta be Tyler Wade.

Austin on the 7DL with a bad back, and Toe is on a leave of absence (family emergency).

 

[Ryand877]

If Drury can play short in an emergency, they could consider Frazier too.

Do Yankees fans feel like the competition in baseball is really down this year?
I mean the Yankees and Red Sox are both likely going to win 100 games and could conceivably play the Astros in a 1 game playoff if Houston slacks with Seattle on their heels.
I mean the AL sucks so much Seattle could beat enough of these crappy teams and win that division.

Agree. You know my feelings on the 1 game elimination playoff. It's not who is the best/better team, its who has the best number one pitcher. Obviously anyone can have a bad game, but more times than not the team with the better ace will win. I could see the Yankees/or Sox losing a wild card game 3-2 against Verlander or something like that after winning 100 plus games this year. They lose that, they are done. I get the excitement, just doesn't seem right to me after such a long, grueling season.

Have him swing by Tampa in the off day here...to pick up his bats that he apparently left there after spring training.

The balance of power isn’t quite to NBA 1 or 2 team only levels, but it’s getting there.

The 1 game sucks, but it’s got a reason. Now they can always tweet it, but it’s still better than a 97 Win ‘85 Yankees team go home or as the Pope pointed out to me...a 103 Win 1954 Yankee team sit out October as well.

Today, 17 of 30 teams are at .500 or above. That feels normal to me.

I guess that is right but teams like the Rays and Angels aren’t good.
You can sell me on the A’s as the 6th AL team but the AL blows IMO after
NY/Bos/CLE/Hou/Sea and Oak

No participation trophy.

Someone must Win and Lose everyday.

I think it will always be somewhat close to the magic 15 #.

Sounds like a nice summer post for SWC to research...

But I get alsacs point. The top...is extremely heavy this year.

well he is 80 so he might just forget it someday

Would the Yankees trade Sanchez if it was part of a DeGrom trade?

With the Yankees in "win now" mode, I don't see them doing anything that weakens the current line up. Despite Sanchez's struggles, I still want him down the stretch over Romine. If the Yankees truly want DeGrom, they have enough pieces in the system to get him without sacrificing this year's major league roster. My guess is that they will acquire someone that costs them less instead.

Yankees need a legit 2nd starter to have enough depth to win it all.
Tanaka is too hot or cold and could blow up in a playoff spot.
CC is a good game 3 starter.
Game 4 is perfect for Tanaka.

DeGrom is the guy the Yankees should be targeting. Happ isn’t a difference maker he is more solid than anything.
Hamels back to Philly makes too much sense.
It’s DeGrom that is the difference maker.
I don’t know the Yankees system that well but to get him I think they would have to pay a good price.

Yes, I don’t think they’ll be willing to pay that price.

Tanaka elevates in the playoffs.

Catcher is not a position in which the Yankees have great organizational depth, which is why they drafted like ten of them this year.

[Ryand877]

Trading for Mike Moustakas Would Give Yankees Insurance to Trade Miguel Andujar for an Ace
They better not trade Andujar.

Yeah, Andujar's a keeper.

That’s not fair, our 3rd string catcher only hits home runs!

Sanchez, Gray, Frazier

Get it done yanks!
