Yeah - definitely about time to start with ridiculously unrealistic trade return expectations

I have some hazy memories.  In a stunning reversal of roles, I've actually got atomic on ignore now and I must say it's tremendous.

Thought this was interesting.  Are there a lot of non rental relievers on the market this year other then Givens?

It's a weird deadline without August. They really need to push it back - teams need more time to figure out if they're contenders.

Mancini could have more value this offseason. All it takes is one serious injury.

Givens and Villar I still expect to go. If not - that's pretty weird, but not the end of the world. 

I agree about moving the deadline back. Second Friday in August or something like that maybe.

“I had a deal in hand to trade Mancini for a couple top 100 prospects but I couldn’t find Angelos to sign off on it”..... I kid I kid 

I can only imagine what went on in the warehouse on days like this over the years. A book needs to be written.

This is Elias' first hard test as a GM. Can he get value for his pieces? Does he hold on to them thinking they will have more value this off season or at next year's trading deadline?

With just a few hours to go, it sure is quiet.

Toooo quiet......

Teams are going real cheap to fill holes.  None of the big rumored names have gone yet.  I definitely don't see Mancini going anywhere.  The Yankees could just get Smoak to fill in for Voigt.  HOU doesn't really need Mancini.

The market is looking too low for Givens.  We could keep him and let him re-establish his value for this time next year.  

The cubs and dodgers got their UTIL guy today.  There isn't too much of a market for Villar.

      This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.

      Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.

      It sure does feel that way.

      They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!

      It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.

      Maybe Witt, he's signed for 11 years.

      All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
