2018 Yankees Thread...

You sure Tate wouldn’t have been on the 40 man?

Yes.

And I would use options up before I start DFAing anyone.

This is great insurance against a bad start.

Stanek to start for the Rays today.

That seems like a direct reaction to the Yankees getting Britton. Interesting move and probably not a bad one for the Sox.

Red Sox Acquire Nathan Eovaldi

Red Sox acquire Eovaldi from Rays for Beeks

I think it's more of a reaction to Pomeranz' ERA of just about 7, as well as being so lefty heavy in that rotation.

Appears the offense has decided to take the day off.

Win a game lose a game. Rinse. Repeat.

Bad Gardy.

Bad Gardy.

You know why he swung at that pitch? Because of the called second strike which wasn’t a strike.

The Yankees would have lost those players in the Rule 5 Draft anyways. Instead they got something in return. I think it was a smart move. They have an excess of pitchers in their system. Those players, as stated previously, were not going to be protected by going on the 40 man roster. The Yankees would have lost them for nothing.

Agreed, Tate has not been the pitcher the Rangers thought when he was drafted. His fastball had once been very above average is now just average and has been scouted as being middle relief. He would have been lost to the Rule 5 draft, as they have a few good pitchers at AA, and high A

It's more about Eduardo Rodriguez' uncertain health status. Pomeranz at best would be a fifth starter and probably out of the rotation if Wright comes back.

Yankees might have interest in Cole Hamels

Personally, I really dislike Hamels.

Blue Jays "Appear Close" To Striking J.A. Happ Swap

3:46PM: The Yankees are “heavy in the mix” for Happ, Feinsand tweets, with other teams (such as the Brewers) still possibly being in play. The Cubs are one of the other teams involved, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times.

I expect it to be either Happ, Hamels, or someone of similar quality. That should be enough to hold on to the first wild card. If Tanaka and Gray find consistency, then this team can still make a push for the division.

The Yankees one weak area in their system is C...which is probably why they drafted so many this last draft.

Still curious to know who gets the short straw in the bullpen with him being added.
