Yankees trade for Joey Gallo

[LENBO]

Agreed. After both additions they are an 86-win non-playoff team, instead of of an 81-win non-playoff team

Could be . But I wouldn’t want you as my GM with that defeatist attitude .

Perhaps you can look into your crystal ball and give us your wild card teams and division winners and we’ll revisit come playoff time .

 

[carlspackler]

LOL. The Yankees are not a playoff team. They are 5.5 back in the A.L. East with Boston regressing to the mean. The division will come down to Tampa and N.Y., and the wild card winner will probably come out of the East also.

See you in October.

2-1 Yankees tonight final in 10 innings

Dude they're only 1.5 GB of the WC. The lineup is improved and lengthened with the addition of the two lefty bats in Gallo and Rizzo. Gallo may K a lot but he walks a lot too, can steal, gold glove with a rocket arm. Rizzo, good contact hitter, clutch, a proven winner and leader something this team was lacking oh and a smooth gold glove. Cashman, who I'm not a fan of, did a very good job in acquiring these guys while not giving up any top prospects and having their salaries mostly picked up by the Cubs and Rangers.

Talking nonsense

 

[carlspackler]

Who needs Rizzo when you have the three million dollar man?

Tampa is the best team in the division. Toronto is the second best.

Very plausible Boston comes all the way back to them

 

[HotshotGambler]

Gallo is TRASH, I would use him down 3 or more in the 9th when you need a pinch hit bomb other then that negative I think he sucks.

Sox have 25thranked pitching & will endup 4th

Yankees and Jays will tussle for WC slot along w the Swingin' A's

Rays still on track for 100 Wins and Yanks would need to close w 40 wins in final 52 to top them for the division

Make the playoffs and it's a new season.

Should have been sellers

The Steinbrenners are not sellers.

Sox are the least of their problems.

Yankees are worse than both the Rays and the Blue Jays. Yanks are worse than their record to this point

 

[LENBO]

Haters gonna hate . Here come the Yanks !

There’s a whole new vibe at the stadium .

 

[barman]

Lol Yankees get another washed up player in Rizzo

Now add that due to his immature and non-supportive (to his team) anti-vax stance he has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss a minimum of nine games

Yankees should dock his payroll until he is medically cleared and let him contest it thru the union

NFL players who knelt during playing of the SSB were vilified by many

MLB and other pro athletes who voluntarily contract COVID should be equally or more shamed

AL Playoff Chase post-Aug 8th games

Road to 98 Wins

Rays 68 W, 112 GP, need 30 W of 50 = .600

RedSox 65 W, 114 GP, need 33 W of 48 = .688

Yankees 61 W, 111 GP, need 37 W of 51 = .725

BlueJays 60 W, 110 GP, need 38 W of 52 = .731

 

[Biggins]

Those are daunting numbers did you do the math? Like that commercial “is that right”

 

[barman]

Make the playoffs and it's a new season.

"new season" with same poorly constructed roster

 

[barman]

Barring a level of collapse we've not seen in just over two calendar years, the #Rays win 101+

#Yankees fans still dreaming of an ALEast flag are spanking serious pud
