Yes, I know Cashman always waits until 5:59 PM BUT....

Catchers are going off the board now. Adley Rautschman is going to Boston. Miami traded their good young catcher (Liam Hicks) to Tampa Bay. Our old catcher Ben Rortvadt as insurance to the Dodgers

Yanks need to get a deal done with the Twins or the Reds it seems.

San Diego apparently turned down a 1 for 1 trade of Will Warren for their really good lefty set-up man. Bizarre that you turn down a mid-rotation starter for a reliever. And now they are trading for Robbie Ray with the Giants as their starting pitcher pick-up.

C'mon Cashman....GET IT DONE.

CATCHER
RELIEVER

NOW

Boston and Tampa are improving. It's got to happen.

I don’t mind the Garcia pick-up. Really only gave up quantity, not quality. Will definitely help the line up. It’s like they made the bonus move first

But there still HAS to be a move for a reliever tomorrow and a righty catcher. Has to be

We all know stats lie when it comes to this bullpen, but it will get worse if nothing added. Boone can’t run the same 3 arms out every single night before they completely wear out

To follow up on my "quantity, not quality" regarding the guys traded to the Nats....ESPN has a list of the 40 best prospects traded so far. Only Yovanny Cruz made that list at #22.

The two guys that the Yanks picked up for Dotel are listed at #27 and #39 right now.

Luke Weaver to the Pirates....

I'm not holding my breath. Yankees are banking on players on the IL carrying them in September.

lakelaw you are right about Stanton. lol

The Red Sox getting Adley just kills me. Dude is really talented and ends up in Boston while we pencil Wells into the order might-in-night-out.

Red Sox paid a heavy prospect price

And what the hell do we need another outfielder for?

 

[lakelawyerheel]

Just awful deadline. Yes, got a couple bats but just awful

I like that Garcia is a solid lefty hitter with power who should be the primary DH
But Ramos adds nothing the Yanks didn’t already have. Guess he’ll be a platoon right handed batter. He’s slow and not good defensively and we gave up a lefty minor leaguer with good stuff who has a legit chance as a future starting pitcher, albeit middle to back end of the rotation

Saw a funny meme today that was a breaking trade deadline acquisition, said (paraphrasing):

“Dodgers make another trade and acquire the Boston Red Sox”

Dodgers have a billion dollars in salaries deferred until the year 2042.

Well, Cam really struggled tonight. With Wells and Grisham going back to back the Yankees would be back in the game if the pen had not given up 2 runs as soon as they entered the game. Thanks Hal for standing pat with this ****** pen.

Chvilli had thrown in 4 out of 5 games on Saturday when he wasn’t very good

And then got shelled tonight

Hedrick, Cruz, Chvilli, etc…arms are going to fall off before the season ends

Just flabbergasted we didn’t get any kind of arm to add to the pen
