Padres get Adam Frazier from the Pirates, he's having a solid season so that will add to them.

I'm looking at outfielders, and wonder if Pavin Smith from Arizona could be an option for our outfield? But pitching is what we need

 

He's a somewhat bright spot in Arizona. I have him on one of my fantasy teams is how I know. Gallo keeps getting linked to us, and i do like him, but everyone is looking at him. That's why maybe someone under the radar would be better

 

Frazier was also a league average player for four years who is having a career year at age 29. He's exactly the kind of player the Pirates should be trading high on.

Amazing.

 

extremely satisfying win for the mariners tonight.

 

that sounds vaguely inappropriate.

 

I know Riley hit 2 homers of which one was a grand slam, but Ozzie's swing...man. I love his swings. They look so...refreshing.





And Sandoval is basically a Bench Panda as thats all he does is give morale hugs when they homer.

But I'm okay with this.

 

If the ongoing remodel at work won't kill me, these Dodgers/Giants games surely will.

 

So in an effort to dump a significant chunk of their payroll (about $3 million), the Yankees have traded away relievers Luis Cessa and Justin Wilson to Cincinnati for a player to be named later. I won't miss Wilson but Cessa was definitely a valuable innings eater. Should be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves these next few days until the trade deadline.

 

As I said, Hal must have something special up his sleeves to just donate Cessa like that. I just find it somewhat amusing that a team with a $200+ million payroll feels the necessity to dump a mere $3 million in salary just because they're hoping to stay below the luxury tax threshold.

 

the Yankees dumping payroll to the Reds at the end of July?

like i said, every year i see something i've never seen before in baseball

 

the m's have been doing it with smoke and mirrors (look at our run differential), but i do hope they can keep it up. they managed to bring the go-ahead run to the plate in the 9th last night, despite being down by 4 going into the frame, and if someone would have launched one it would have suddenly been the capper of the greatest 2-day stretch of baseball in my life.

 

I've accepted that Cleveland isn't going to get a Wild Card this season, so I hope they get to 82 wins to keep Francona's streak alive. And then, I would really like to see Seattle nab a Wild Card.

 

So Michael Kay has pretty much rationalized the Yankees' donation to Cincinnati of both Justin Wilson and Luis Cessa; suggesting that he really anticipates a big, monumental move by the Yankees this week in advance of the trade deadine. Of course if Friday comes and passes with no significant moves by the Yankees, then all bets are off.

 

2.5 games out of the second wild-card, despite the dogcrap of a season.
Would be shocked if Cashman doesn't make a significant move.

 

Talk to me in September about being enthusiastic over the Yankees' chances of sneaking in as a second Wild Card.

 

What did you expect though. The WWE isn’t known for their cutting edge acceptance.

 

Gallo heading to the Yankees

 

A left-handed bat who can play the OF, 3B, and 1st. What's the problem?

 

yeah I like the move plus he is Sicilian Like me, well Sicilian and Mercato De San Severino on my dads side so I'm exactly half Italian! Mercato De San Severino is near Naples Italy so both my Great Grandmothers made really good Pizza home made! Gallo's Pundits will say he strikes out to much but that's the story of baseball today and all power hitters and Launch Angle. But the guy hits a lot of HRs and is Lefty bat which we are sorely lacking and he is young only 27 came into the League in 2015 two time All Star! and he can play Multiple positions corner OF first and third base! I don't think the Yankees are done. I wouldn't mind getting Max Kepler he has a cool story he grew up In Germany because his parents were part of a professional Ballet company in Germany! his sister played Tennis and Softball collegiately so his whole family are athletes! I also want to see a #1 relief type pitcher who can close traded to us we have the prospects to get this all done! Also Gallo like Cole grew up a Yankees fan!
