Yankee news and notes

[Lillie]

Nova traded to Pirates for players to be named later as per Jon Morosi.

 

[Messiah717]

Good moves.

 

[cagedlion]

I'm really going to miss Andrew Miller & Carlos Beltran. Good luck to both of them......I 'lbe rooting for these men.
As expected, Ivan Nova was going to be traded, and no surprise, he did not bring back much.....PTBNL!

Nova: old Roy Clark song, "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone"

...would not be surprised if the Yanx resigned Chapman during the off season.

 

[yankeesince59]

...unreal, isn't it?

...lemme see, they traded away two of the very best relievers in the game for prospects who cannot help the team this year but that's not "waving the white flag"?...uhhh, OK.

Overall great haul so far giving yanks by most scouts now the top farm system in baseball. And even though non waiver deals are done I think we could see some more of these guys go before august 31.

 

[yankeesince59]

...yeah, if not by then, maybe during the off season...Atlanta still wants McCann...and Gardner might get some attention...Eovaldi too.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...^^^ 2 finally shitting or getting off the toilet.....

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^Yep. Their time is just about up........watching their continued frustration at the plate is getting
old. Besides, Gardy 's no gazelle in the OF, nor on the bases. Love McCann's attitude, but he's aged
quickly.

In this year of no playoffs, accountability comes to the forefront as something this team could not
demonstrate.

 

[yankeesince59]

...maybe something will happen with Gardner and/or Ellsbury before next season, maybe CC too. And McCann still lives in Atlanta so maybe he'll return there to help Freeman and the Braves have some sort of gate draw for their new stadium opening next year.

...the Yanx have a ton of money coming off the books in the next 2 years...and between the youngsters, and the fact that the 2018 FA class is a very impressive one, we could see a completely revamped roster...will it be a success?...who knows, but it will certainly be a damn sight better than what we've seen during the last few years.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

the average age of the team to come, was the oldest avg aged team of players 32, should drop quit considerably, and hopefully the youth movement, with a FA or 2 - (to come in the next 2 yrs) ... could be the recipe for a molotov cocktail in the Bronx....flame on!!
