Yankees getting Triple A 1st Baseman Garrett Cooper in exchange for LHP Tyler Webb as per Ken Rosenthal.
Right now Dan O Dowd and my favorite Martian Eric Byrnes are handing out "grades" picking thus far Rookie of the Year, MVP, and Cy Young award winners to this point in the season. I left after watching them go through the NL & AL West, plus the AL East. Then they get input from the likes of Sherman, Rosenthal, and Heyman, enough to drive one nuts. Will say though the couple times I saw Webb he looked decent. The First Base situation has shown us that Cashman can not or will not poop or get off of the pot.Keeeping Carter was a joke, if Austin or Bird can't play the the DL or minors. The Braves made a move got Matt Adams when Freeman went down. At this point do we hope Choi works out, or is our boy Brian looking?
For what its worth Bird is doing some rehab starts in either double or triple A this week. I think the kid can still make it back and obvious from the first base band aids cashman is applying so does he.
first thought on Garrett, I'd rather see Gary Cooper playing 3rd. damn, I've got a lot of posts catching up to do....
...since they probably won't go after a bonafide Ace, Sonny Gray was my second choice after Quintana.
Might be dreaming the impossible dream but a huge priority should be placed on getting Ellsbury and Headley out of town with those kids taken their places. Given their shabby play play from mid June in conjunction with poor pitching and a rash of sloppy infield play, I'd think the playoffs are improbable. Most think they were early in development this year maybe planning for next is more realistic. I get the idea that most Yankee fans are getting tired of seeing this 200 mil team getting its ass kicked by those with far less payroll.
Yankees close to getting Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahn from the White Sox as per Ken Rosenthal.
Looks like they are giving up SP Ian Clarkin, OF Blake Rutherford + ????????? I do not like this deal Frazier 32 yrs, Robertson 32 yrs, Kanele 28 yrs. Cashman is crazed. No starting pitcher? That's a need. White Sox building their own farm. Thank you so much Trashman!!!!!!!! I knew Trashman would trade away the kids. He cannot help himself. SOB
Geezus back to the 32 age avg Yankee player??? Anyone but Headcase, wonder how much Trashman's going to eat on this one, and with no SP, wtf, (again)...?
