Just had to share this vomit-inducing pic.

• The Yankees have signed veteran lefty Rich Hill to a minor league contract, and assigned him to AAA-Scranton.

They might have done the same with Chien-Ming Wang, who opted out of his contract with the Reds this weekend. Instead, Wang found a minor league deal with the White Sox.

Don't forget Jason Hammel's line Saturday vs Baltimore.

Thanks Jim Johnson.

0.0IP 4H 4R for JJ tonight. ERA approaching 7.

Gotta think if Beane can't trade him by the end of the month they'll have to release him. Just makes zero sense to keep a guy like that around any longer.

Well, it's almost September and expanded rosters so maybe they can keep him. That said, what the hell is going on with Jim Johnson that he can be this pathetic?

And that friends is why no matter how much you like them, you don't give long term extensions to relief pitchers. Remember this when you want to start that thread about locking Britton up this next offseason.

I guess that helps both teams? And it proves the Jays have no money.

milb article about hader

Article about Hader. I didn't know anything about him. He seems to have a bright future. I'm not going to bash the trade because Norris has been an important part of our rotation. I would think he would be much higher than #13 in Astros farm system if he finishes his season the way he has been pitching so far.

[isestrex]

He's going to get some big hits against Chen down the stretch.

Thank goodness we don't have too many lefties.
