Good for the Yanks as they needed a game like this. Another good win today. You don't get the umps calling for a delay after Chapman gets into the 9th, maybe... they win 3 out of 4 vs a good Ranger team. Still got the split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right thing to do with Chapman slipping all over the mound but yeah, no stoppage and he likely gets the save there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point kind of seems like he deserves to be promoted, but there's almost nowhere to put him. I'm thinking the Yanks should entertain moving Didi to third, making room for Mateo at short, Refsnyder/Castro at second, Bird at first next season. I dislike Headley and hope his recent success could fetch something this trade deadline. The Kraken, can't wait until he comes up. Judge just hurt his knee, too. Awful timing.

GimmeShelter Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 According to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post, Andrew Miller said Monday that the Yankees have told him that they would be open to deal him if they are blown away. Miller told Barry M. Bloom of MLB.com earlier this month that the Yankees have reassured him that they don't have any plans to deal him, but clearly they are flexible if the right offer comes along. The southpaw is making $9 million this season and is owed $18 million from 2017-2018, so he has a reasonable contract for any contender if the Yankees decide to sell. Miller owns a 1.37 ERA and 69/6 K/BB ratio in 39 1/3 innings this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the Yankees farm has taken massive steps forward. Lots of interesting or better talent at most levels - and most of it is offensive talent rather than arms outside of Severino (I like Kaprelian too, but he's hurt because pitchers).

Gas2No99 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yankees' baseball operations at odds with business side Wallace MatthewsESPN Staff Writer NEW YORK -- As they head into the second half of the 2016 season, the New York Yankees are the definition of mediocrity with a 44-44 record. They face a daunting task to make the playoffs, sitting in fourth place in the AL East, 7 1/2 games behind the division-leading Baltimore Oriolesand needing to leapfrog a half-dozen teams to qualify for the second wild-card berth. And yet, there is a division within the inner ranks of the organization as to whether the team should be buyers or sellers at the upcoming non-waiver trade deadline. According to a baseball source who spoke to ESPN on condition of anonymity, the opposing factions are composed of the baseball operations people, led by general manager Brian Cashman, who believe the team should sell off its assets and plan for the future, and the business side, which is led by owner Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine, who hold to the belief that the club is still in contention. According to the source, the baseball people would be willing to trade the core of the team, players such as closer Aroldis Chapman, first baseman Mark Teixeira, starting pitchers Nathan Eovaldi and Ivan Nova, and right fielder Carlos Beltran, who has been the team's best hitter all season and its only position player to make the All-Star team. Chapman, Teixeira, Beltran and Nova will be free agents after the season; Eovaldi is arbitration-eligible this winter and will be a free agent in 2018. The source also said the Yankees would like to move center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury and catcher Brian McCann, a much more difficult proposition because of their contracts. Ellsbury is signed through 2020 at $21 million per year, with a club option for 2021 that includes a $5 million buyout, and McCann is signed through 2018 at $17 million a year. The Yankees are also said to be "willing to listen'' on setup man Andrew Miller, who had an excellent first half and accompanied Beltran and reliever Dellin Betances to San Diego for the All-Star Game. The source said that the Yankees' erratic play this season has caused uncertainty within the ranks about how good this team really is. Last month, when the Yankees had just come off a five-game winning streak that got them back to .500 (31-31), Cashman said, "We're not going to be a seller unless ownership green-lights that. I'll have an honest dialogue with ownership every step of the way as I always do. If we feel at a date in the future that that's a necessity, then trust me, I'll recommend it, and they'll make a decision based on their comfort level. I'm always a brutally honest person." Cashman was not available to comment, but the Yankees won three of four games from the Cleveland Indians, who lead the AL Central by 6 1/2 games, in the final series before the All-Star break, providing ammunition for the "don't sell'' faction. "All the talk of buying or selling is speculation at this point,'' Levine said. "There's two weeks to go, and at that time we'll make a decision. You can't make any decisions until you have specific transactions in front of you.'' Levine refused to directly address questions about whether the hierarchy was divided over the direction the club should take at the Aug. 1 trade deadline. "We believe in this team,'' he said.

SenorGato Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Blake Rutheford already promoted. He made his SS APPL debute in a double header going 3-8 with a BB and a K. That opens the door for him to hit the ground running in full season ball next year along with Leonardo Molina, another high ceiling OF I like in this system.

LionelRichie Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 either miller or chapman are going to look great in a Nats uniform and are the missing piece to a world series run in DC. The Yankees can take their pick from the farm system except for Turner or Giolito. The Yankees should ask for a kid named Sammy Solis and change for Miller. Solis isn't a kid but he can pitch and could move back to a starter for a lousy rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robles is already one of the handful more exciting bat prospects out there. The Nats are probably the NL team that worries me the most in the playoffs. Probably both the main east teams with Syndergaard and Strasburg/ Scherzer capable of taking over a series if their lineups got hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the nats taking on Ellsbury's contract with an aging Werth + Zimmerman already chewing up so much $ for negligible production but nats poised to make a run this year and are basically a closer and leadoff hitter away from being the best team in baseball.

First time ever I wish they would sell right now. Why hold on to Beltran? You don't need 3 closers. Pick and trade. Also, cut ARod. Just eat the last year and a half and move on. It is nice that they are battling to be .500 but I don't see this group winning it all. Or winning anything. Get younger and be in a better position as these contracts come off the books.
