Cano gets 80 Day Suspension as per Ken Rosenthal.

there's always been that something about Cano I've long been weary of, now his hand has been played as another Fraud. Wonder if he's using fellow team-mate Cruz's excuse: "I had a tummy ache, lost alot of weight, so....."

FK Cano and t/Camel he rode out of town on.

The Yankees’ outfield is doing just fine, and there is an age-old adage, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” It seems like the only solution for Brian Cashman will be to eat the remainder of Dingleberry's contract; and release him because trading him is impossible.

Aaron Hicks to The DL with a Muscle Strain.

Aaron Hicks to The DL with a Muscle Strain.

I almost put a post up on Clint Frazier Sunday; as he's tearing up Scranton Wilkes-Barre. Perhaps I still will. The one thing mentioned was- if Aaron Hicks goes on the DL , we could see Red Thunder...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

We have a Tornado Warning Tonight.

But but but we're not in Kansas anymore...Or maybe we're all living in the United States of Kansas, looking for that effing yellow brick road...
PS- hurry up and put the Cows down in the basement; fk the Chickens..

Where did Toto go

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

What Trashman gave up to Oakland for the pitiful Sonny Gray is mind boggling. What we know now
that Gray is mediocre at best. Trashman, for me, overpaid with OF Dustin Fowler, IF-OF Jorge Mateo,
and RHP James Kaprielian.
I do not see Gray turning things around. Knowing Trashman, he will be determined to shove Gray down
our throats to prove he was worth it. Ugh! This was one stinker of a trade.

Mateo is batting .198 in AAA
Fowler had a knee injury that may have been career threatening
and Kaprielian had tommy john surgery


Gray had great years in 2014 and 2015..not good years..great years. 3.55 era in 2017 was not bad either.
But yeah lets play monday night QB when talking about a trade after the fact especially when the three players have all of 15 at bats and zero innings pitched in the majors

 

[Mattingly23NY]

[Godzuki]

Tanaka trying to hit was amusing.

They should really have the DH in both leagues already. 26 man roster too.
