Thanks Robertson.Should have brought Betances in.

Trying to understand what happened today. From the lineup to the performance by Severino, to Wade being on a major league roster, to Gleyber’s decision to go to 3rd with no outs.

I put it all on the Manager. This team has been so mediocre and lifeless. Boone is so passive and he has not held them accountable. He coddles them

 

[mrmovies779]

Gleybers decision to go for 3rd was all his,not Boones.Severino needs to get going or we are doomed.Not sure why people want to scapegoat Boone when players make bad mistakes.

 

[Machinehead]

Two games today, Tyler Wade plays both.

So Severino shitting the bed was Boone's fault? Do you ever go back and read what you write? I doubt it because surely you'd realize how silly you sound.

Walker, Neil.

It was about the pool money.

Source: @Yankees received $1M in international cap space from the @Cardinals in the trade setting the stage for NYY’s signing of RHP Osiel Rodríguez, ranked no. 9 on @MLBPipeline Top 30 Int’l Prospects list, for a deal expected to be in the $1.1M range.

Caleb Frare traded for 1.5M pool money.

Rule 5 guys, Brandon Drury and Chasen Shreve for Zach Britton, JA Happ and 2.5M of pool money.

 

[SA16]

Voit is a pretty good hitter I think that trade makes a lot of sense for the Yankees. If he's on the MLB roster he can platoon with Bird and play vs the lefties.

Source: @Yankees expected to use international pool money acquired in trades to sign RHP Osiel Rodríguez, #9 on @MLBPipeline Int’l Prospects list, for $600K and SS Carlos Verdecia for $325K. They could still be in play for RHP Sandy Gaston, ranked No. 14. MLB.com 2018 Prospect Watch

Wheeler singlehandedly won the game.

Regarding Severino, I just hope he isn't pitching through some sort of injury or some kind of dead arm.

I no longer buy that he's tipping his pitches.

After trading for more international bonus pool space, the Yankees today signed Osiel Rodriguez for $600,000, as @jorgeebro reported.

Rodriguez is the No. 1 international pitching prospect this year
