No worries...that makes more sense!

3 to 4 high leverage guys? I think adding Wells to the bullpen and getting one more quality BP arm should suffice.

Makes me wonder if they are looking to DFA/move Mateo. I think they should at this point.

Agree with this. Didn't seem like the writer was overly pushing it. I think all three replies were appropriate and the writer left it alone. If he had pressed the issue, I could understand someone being upset about it.

I don't see the attraction to Rich Hill (sorry Mrs. Hill if you're a poster).

Gleyber Torres?

A split with the Jays would be fine with me. They've been playing pretty well over their last 20 games. Should be an interesting series.

The weird thing about it was that he looked like he had good stuff. Yet another time when these guys just lose command.

Also...he never won a World Series with the Yankees.

Hays is out as well.

Sorry...just started following the game. What happened to Wells?

MLB Network. No...I wouldn't do this trade. Just a suggested trade from Phillips.

Did anyone just see Steve Phillips' suggested trade? He had us trading Hall, Westburg, Cowser, and Kjerstad to SD for Hader, Snell, and Soto.

He should be our shortstop RIGHT NOW!

If we continue to hit like we have been, this could be a long series. The Yankees are fighting for their playoff lives. Having Judge back could give them the shot in the arm they need to get going.

I could see your scenario playing out, but if he tears up Bowie the rest of this season, there's no need to send him back there. He could start in Norfolk next spring and be up in a couple of months if he's still hitting.

I'd say more like "this time next year" away.

Could Hall be the reliever we need this season? If I'm the Orioles, I'm certainly not banking on that, but it would be a nice idea to get him up here in August.

After the Yankees, we get @Toronto, then home vs. NY Mets, then Houston.

Looks like our equivalent of Povich, Aaron Hicks (Hicks is way better), and a random AA reliever.

He's not a FA until after the 2025 season.

The only upgrade I could see is DFA'ing Mateo and brining up Ortiz at this point. Or, if they don't bring up Ortiz, using Mateo's spot to bring in a veteran bat of some sort.

Lorenzen's numbers aren't bad. His FIP and WHIP are pretty decent. His walk rate is low, but his K rate is a little below what you'd like. All that being said, I'm not sure where this upgrades the rotation. The only reason I could see this happening is because they are planning to move Wells to the bullpen.

Great interview. He seems like a fun guy and now he's enjoying the ride with his team.

I think he has good "stuff", he just lacks command. I don't think he's a guy you target in a pennant race, but possibly one you'd target in the off-season.
