What do you think about the trade? I love it but yankees boards are going nuts that Cash got robbed giving up 4 years of control of a major league for a rental. I see a yankees team desperate for a starter getting one that has been good the last few years and has dominated the Sox for a guy who has no place on the team and hasn't really done much when he does play.Happy to Yankees
Great deal for Yanks IMO. Drury was great insurance in case Andujar wasn't ready, now that he's doing fine Drury is pretty expendable. The prospect they gave up seems like a 4A type or maybe a platoon guy at best. Definitely worth it to make a run at a chip.shadyridr said:What do you think about the trade?

Those people are nuts. This is a fine deal for both parties. Jays get decent pieces who will probably never be stars, but still decent. Yankees won't miss that and they get help this year.shadyridr said:What do you think about the trade?

I'm kicking myself for completely missing out on this ride. I probably would have paid more attention if he was named Maximillio Muncilliardo or something.Happy Max Muncy ESPN 2B Eligibility Day to all my fellow Muncyphiles.
Pretty sick to think harper is expendable nowEven as the official #1 Fan of Juan Soto™ even I'm surprised at how good he is. Monster homer, triple, and a single tonight and the outfield never knows how to play him. The Marlins had the CF in LC and Soto lined a shot to the RCF gap on the triple. His flyballs are almost always to left and center, but he also has 6 homers to right and most have been bombs. His line drives go everywhere, line to line.
He has 38 walks, 45 k's, 28 extra base hits, a .348 BABIP, and a .413 wOBA in 240 PAs. I said I thought Mattingly was his best comp, and it you look at Mattingly's healthy years he used all fields with power and precision. Soto strikes out twice as much (19%), but also walks twice as much (16%).
I would think some regression would come simply because he's still 250 PAs away from having 1000 for his professional career. But the average might actually go up from .310, it's at least sustainable. I would suspect he can't maintain a 16% walk rate, but he's pretty much defied expectations thus far. So good.
Good call.Asdrubal Cabrera and Odubel Herrera
You need to say it out loud to truly appreciate it.
Good move but shaw at 2b seems like a disasterBrew Crew trades for 3B Mike Moustakas
Travis Shaw to move to second
Brewers trade for Mike Moustakas
Some good talk at BBHQ about being able to hide guys at 2B in the day of the homer, K, shift era.Good move but shaw at 2b seems like a disaster
4 horrible starts in a row. Not sure what's wrong but call me concerned. Very concerned.Doctor Detroit said:WTF Severino? It’s the Royals!
And???The first Bay Bridge trophy goes to the A's. Still playing really good baseball. Can't wait to see what they do in Colorado next weekend.
I've divested myself of all Brewers in fantasy and i guess i was right - they've now flooded their corners as they did w their OF then MIshadyridr said:Good move but shaw at 2b seems like a disaster
He's not even close to thatToday, Trevor Hoffman becomes the worst hall of famer
Did Hoffman get inducted before or after Jack Morris?Today, Trevor Hoffman becomes the worst hall of famer
Really hoping the Yankees make this massive mistake.Pretty sick to think harper is expendable now
Jays got way more back for him than I would have expected.A fine job by the Astros of ruining a good thing by bringing on that woman beating piece of #### Osuna.
A nice, albeit tainted returnJays got way more back for him than I would have expected.
The Giles/Osuna part makes so much sense, Jays can rebuild his value/confidence in low pressure environment and whether you agree with their strategy or not, it fits in age/timeline wise with their other recent additions - Grichuk, Drury, etc...A nice, albeit tainted return
Tyler Austin for Lance LynnPer Heyman: Yankees closing in on a deal for an OF and a reliever.
It's a bad look. Hope it blows up on both somehow.A fine job by the Astros of ruining a good thing by bringing on that woman beating piece of #### Osuna.
He's an arm.Someone on Twitter said it best
Warren for international money and Austin for Lance Lynn is the kind of upgrades at the deadline all Yankees fans were looking for
Warren has never been a full-time SP.So was Adam Warren. Where does he even pitch?
In his brief time in Chicago he got himself underneath Maddon's doghouse. He couldn't do anything right in Joe's eyes.So was Adam Warren. Where does he even pitch?
Cessa and Sheffield can fill in. Meh 5.5 bb/9ip is atrociousWarren has never been a full-time SP.
I'd assume Lynn will work from the bullpen until a need arises elsewhere A Lynn trade would get blocked in August and lot can happen in two months.
Yankees pitchers get a better strike zoneCessa and Sheffield can fill in. Meh 5.5 bb/9ip is atrocious
They have some good pieces.The Mets holding onto deGrom and Syndergard thinking they are close to competing next year is great shtick.
Whether they're dealing or holding, the Mets will screw it up.They have some good pieces.
Conforto, Nimmo, Rosario, Alonso, Gimenez, and all that pitching. They run that outfit like they were in Milwaukee and not New York, making them really hard to root for.
Plus with Harper likely gone, the NL east is wide open. The Phils and Braves look exciting, but both far from a sure thing.They have some good pieces.
