I never thought is was more complicated than a response to the Red Sox getting Kimbrel.

Very sad to see him go. I live about 125 miles north of Cinci and I doubt that with the way they are unloading everyone that I will bother to make the drive to see any games next year. At least we still have the Bengals. At least until tomorrow night.

Yankees fan here so I'm happy they aquired him! They have a three headed monster now. Only problem is they have to get to the back half of the game with their starting pitchers.

Some teams are acquiring closers, and it seems like that is going to create confusion when it comes to player role. The Nats pen last year was the perfect example, now the Yankees this year. Really a bit of a mess. Is Chapman the setup guy and Miller closes? Miller was outstanding and the incumbent, Chapman is the new guy. Yankees would have been smarter to get a lights out middle reliever and give them the 7th inning.

Chapman is the closer. Miller already agreed to be a setup man and encouraged the trade. Betances can get a little wild sometimes and seems more comfortable in a setup / innings eater role anyways. I think as advanced statistics become more and more prominent in salary negotiations, it will become less and less important who is actually racking up the saves in a relief role. These guys will get paid one way or the other, and they are more and more aware of that now.
