    RHPs Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis & INFs Eric Jagielo, Tony Renda. I'd say they fleeced the Reds on this one.

    Nobody should be upset with this trade from a Yankee point of view.

    Not upset Frank I just don't understand it.

    #1 Chapman is a closer & we have Miller.
    #2 He's a FA after the 2016 season so we may have just given up a few decent prospects for a one year rental.

    Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances are not going anywhere as per Brian Cashman.

    Other then putting another solid arm in the pen, I really dont see the upside to acquiring him. Especially when we need a STARTING PITCHER badly.

    Oh, I see what the Trashman's up to!

    Yankees have not one starting pitcher to go six innings
    on a consistent basis, so he's decided that the plan is
    pitch Chapman, Betances, and Miller sixth or seventh
    through the ninth! Genius...........LOL!

    With the way this team hits, who pitches extra innings?

    You really want to laugh...........what took the Yankees
    all year, it took the Cubs just six days. 2B Brendan Ryan
    was released 12/23 by the Cubs six days after obtaining him
    on 12/17 as the PTBNL trade of December 8th.

    I just keep shaking my head at Yankee management.

    ...

    ...hey MB, how's it been going?

    ...actually, I was talking about the possibility of MLB suspending Chapman because of his recent connection with domestic abuse. We just don't know yet what, if any suspension will be handed down. And this is what made the Reds' asking price for him plummet.

    ...plus, aside from the bull pen, I have some concerns about the offense, defense, and starting pitching.

    I have a gut feeling that Cashman is lying when it comes to saying he is keeping all three. It like Ainge with the Celtics, acquiring assets to move up when the right opportunity presents itself.
