Dejong is the exact type of player Atkins and Shapiro love to trade for: great defender, controllable, and a guy I never wanna see hit ever in my life.

Pirates get 3 minor leaguers back headlined by Jackson Wolf, a 6'7 soft tossing lefty who... relies on deception and unusual arm angles to get batters out?! Nice, we traded 43 year old Rich Hill for 24 year old Rich Hill!
I'm actually most bummed about Estuar Suero headed your way. A scrawny 6'5" CF who looks likely to stay there and is already showing signs of power (questionable hit tool bc long) and is still just 17.

Very traditional deadline return of a guy who could give a few years of cheap middle relief, a nondescript AAAA bat, and a guy who will either be forgotten in two years or be another Preller success story for another team.

Didn't they trade a few guys away yesterday? Seemed apparent to me they were, unless they have guys in the org ready to step into those spots.

Traded a high leverage BP arm, depending on how it works out they can handle the loss of Sewald by spreading more innings around Brash/Topa/Munoz. Or by just not needing high leverage innings every night.

Teoscar has been pretty rough this year and they just acquired an OF yesterday. Kelenic is out probably the next month through an easy schedule mixed in with games against Houston.

Neither move communicates selling to me because of the org depth in the BP/ability to grab a mid leverage arm elsewhere and just how rough Teo has been.

Much like their off-season. I actually don't blame the Yankee fans for being upset if they do absolutely nothing before the deadline.

Butt first, let's

So are the Yankees supposed to be buying or selling? Who are we buying? Who are we selling? Are we wringing hands over the possible missed return for Wandy Peralta and Harrison Bader? Or the missed upgrade of Jeimer Candelario? Trying to get straight what I'm supposed to be mad about.

You should be mad that the team has been built terribly for years and years now and they have a TON of bad contracts and no ability to develop young players. Nothing that they can do today can really fix it in the short term. I just would like to see some different faces to give me a reason to actually want to watch the games other than Judge.

Yea Suero is a lottery ticket with great upside. I'm just thinking over the next few years (when I hope we're competitive) Wolf will be the piece that matters

There should be outrage that the team is spending 300 million dollars to be dogshit and even worse than dogshit, boring dogshit... And that there is no accountability for anyone in the organization no matter how terrible they are at their jobs.

There aren't any bats available, that we know about anyway, to fix the offense for the rest of the season. They aren't winning poo poo, might as well get rid of guys who aren't going to be around like Bader. Also the relief market is pretty hot and someone like Holmes who is pretty replaceable should command a good return

You can be mad and critical of the team all you want. But being mad about the team not making deals at the deadline to improve this team (either as buyers or sellers) when also acknowledging that those deals probably don't exist is just being mad to be mad. Its just children lashing out to make themselves feel better. Hell you mocked the ONE plausible sell deal suggested in the media.

zoux posted:

The best theory anyone has is that he hurt his neck a couple of months back when a runner ran into him and that while they insist he's fine physically that he messed something up mechanically that he can't figure out. Losing Judge as protection and everyone else in the lineup sucking probably didn't help either.
