This is a bad hockey team.
So would I. It seems like the Yankee brass is losing patience. We don't have a hundred year title drought like the Cubs. There is no reason to empty the farm system.

Wheres the Reggae?
I see all these people claiming he's the NL ROY. I don't see how. If everyone wants to say Murphy and Harper are out because the Nats are good enough around them then Bellinger is out too. I think it's Goldschmidt or Arenado right now and it's not even close.
Only one of Mateo/Florial should be moved for Gray. Not both. And no Alonso shouldnt make that trade have both be included. They dont really have a need for him.
Why would you think any player other than Bellinger would be qualified to win ROY this year? If you meant MVP I doubt anyone outside LA think's he's in top 3.
I'd have Harper and Altuve right now. Arenado and Judge the runners up. Both leagues should have a good race for MVP down the stretch, but ROY awards are locked up.

Sanchez absolutely sucks behind the plate at blocking balls in the dirt.Just terrible.I see him becoming a full time DH at some point.

Severino is becoming a top of the rotation starter.. It's too bad the guy we're paying 22M a year hasn't been one. we wouldn't even be talking about Gray :/
Also, Mateo hit a Grand Slam and walked with Trenton today, he's still beasting.

Becoming?
Severino has been a legitimate ace all year and will continue to be one until his arm falls off.

Also if Frazier goes down we riot. 13 RBI in 18 games for the Yankees, hitting over .400 with RISP. Literally no way they can send him down for 2 weeks, or hell even 2 days.
Prepare yourself. Cashman already said he's getting demoted once Hicks is activated off the DL.

I don't believe a thing the Yankees SAY

Gray is absolutley the type of player you trade one of Mateo/Florial for.
27 right side of his prime legit top end of the rotation guy and team controlled for the next 2 years.
rotation would be
1/2 Gray/Severino
3Montgomery
4Tanaka
5Adams

He doesn't come without risks, but who does? truth is, pitching is volatile, anyone can blow up at any time for any reason.
he checks a lot of the boxes for the Yankees tho. as you said, cost controlled, in his prime, signed for 2 more years to help get under the tax (rather than throwing 100M+ at darvish, etc in off season), although even if they get Gray they can STILL do that because they'll have 3 cost controlled starters with Severino and Monty as well here.
Also, another thing to like about Gray.. 8 homeruns in 16 starts and 92 innings, 57% of his outs are on the ground. Most of his outs are via K or groundout which plays absolutely well in Yankee Stadium.

Fact of the matter is everyone gets to attached to prospects and ******** whne we trade some but right now for the 1st time in a long long time the yankees are stacked on prospects. Id rather trade florial since hes an OF and there is a massive log jam out there. You trade from a position of strength to attack your weakness.
Starting pitching is a weakness especially since Tanaka is so hot and cold and CC is on the down swing and Pineda as well as CC are gone after this year.
With the way Tanaka pitched this year theres no way he opts out so hell be back but hell be a servicable mid rotation guy

or who knows maybe its an aberration season and Tanaka next year reverts back to form, nothing wrong with having Severino/Tanaka/Gray as your 1-3 then with Monty as the 4.

I trust whatever Cashman has decided to do, guy has been making great deals lately, no reason not to trust his decision making process.

How are they losing patience? Kahlne is cost controlled til 2021, Robertson is signed through next season, we lost one top prospect in that deal.
In this rumored gray deal, we would lose Mateo or florial, but we would be gaining a 27 year old cost controlled pitcher that helps beyond just this year.
Yankees farm is so deep that two moves are not going to kill it, they have talent on top of talent, their lower levels have a lot of talent as well, guys who aren't known, but before this year, Florial wasn't exactly either.
