Javier maybe but are you including urquidy as a young stud pitcher?

It's June 25, 2022 and there are fresh Altuve-sized drag marks across the Yankees collective faces.

You don't trade young stud pitchers...what are we talking about here?
One of whom just pitched seven no-hit innings in Yankee stadium against an offense the media has crowned as one of the best ever.

Silly comparison but he does have more WS victories than Verlander. I don't think he's a guy you just dump like he's nothing.

Won big at the casino and then watched the Astros no-hit the Yankees. Not a shabby 30th birthday.

There have been Altuve drag marks on their faces for 5 years. He's just remarking his territory. Gotta do it every year.

Who says dump? It should be about getting value. We have clear holes offensively. If trading an Urquidy helps fill 1 or 2 then so be it.

Who said trade him for nothing? But so far he has been average imo. Yes he has a ws victory but regular season leave something to be desired imo. Could he be good/great? sure he can be. But imo he seems like a 4/5 starter for his career. I think you trade him and siri or chas for an outfielder or a good bullpen arm or a position of need near the deadline. If not then guess you move him to the pen? We would have like 7-8 guys who can start when all are healthy and gotta think we go to a 5 mam rotation as the post season nears

The question was who do you trade if or when all are healthy and urquidy seems like the most logical option. I just dont think he is considered a "stud young arm". But that is all subjective.

1-47 against Javier. That's going to leave a mark.

Agreed. The other point is you aren't going to get something of value without giving up something of value. We all love the Larry Anderson for Bagwell trade but those deals are both rare and generally occur when a team is not competing and looking for prospects.

I tend to agree Urquidy is more of a #4 on a good team. That has value, specifically for teams that have really poor pitching, but isn't something you feel like you can't replace in free agency in the offseason if you feel like you have to. He's the happy medium of enough value to get something but low enough ceiling that you don't have fear you're giving up a future star.

Now all this is predicated on Lance coming back and showing he's healthy. If not then I'd just stick it out with 6 starters to hedge against another injury.

the Yankees were going to be active at the trade deadline...

but this series is going to make them even more aggressive.

they need left-handed hitters badly.

trotting out Rizzo, Gallo, and Hicks as their lefties --- please keep doing that


They've been trying to solve this problem for years.

In Chandler's game story, he pointed out the guy working home plate today is a replacement guy from the minor leagues. He should be on the first bus back

It's 5:09 AM and I'm in the 6th inning of rewatching one of my favorite games of all time. I've hated the Yankees from birth when they always beat the White Sox who were my favorite childhood team since one set of grandparents were from Chicago. I told someone I'd be happy with 3 wins out of the 9 straight against the NY reams. I feel greedier now.

It's time to try out Yordan as a relief pitcher. He has a hell of a strong arm and is cool as a cucumber. Put some Ryne Duren coke-bottle glasses on him and they'd all be too scared to settle down and hit.

Yep... His contract is up after this year... Wonder if they continue to plummet who will try to trade for him

Ok I missed that his contract doesn't include the last year of arbitration. Either way, imagine the haul the angels could get for him

It's never going to happen. They are going to pay him and cripple themselves.

For that matter anyone who pays him is going to cripple themselves. Well anyone but the Mets and Dodgers who just don't care how much they spend and the Angels who don't care if they win.

The dodgers are just crazy enough to try and at least make the angels think about it. I think I read that they have big problems with injuries to starting pitchers this year. Cashman might be desperate enough to try too. I agree that it probably won't happen in the end, but the offer would have to be staggering.
