MLB Trade Deadline Approaching...

It appears the oft injured Greg Bird is dealing with an injury AGAIN, and will have ankle surgery.

I expect to see Hosmer in pinstripes in 2018, if not sooner. Cashman loves Bird, but Bird can't stay on the field to make a difference, and !B play for NY has been horrible this season.

No way does Boston trade for Frazier. Deavers is tearing it up, and will be in the show soon. They have to play the kid. He's better than any option the Sox have.

Sounds like Yonder Alonso could be on his way to the Big Apple. Yankees need 1B help, and Alonso would provide that.

If that's true Kyle, it will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of being a Yankee and in a major market. Some players can't handle big markets after being in small markets with apathetic fans.

The Yankees are also asking on Lucas Duda and Addison Reed.

I'm surprised there aren't more moves happening at this point. I understand some teams are still deciding if they should sell or not, but there are other teams that could use the extra week or 2 to start making a move in the standings.

JD Martinez has been traded to the DBacks.

As an Indians fan, this is like Christmas. Glad he's out of the Central and AL as a whole.

The White Sox and Yankees have agreed to a blockbuster deal that’ll send Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to New York in exchange for outfield prospect Blake Rutherford, left-handed pitching prospect Ian Clarkin, outfield prospect Tito Polo and veteran right-hander Tyler Clippard. The White Sox have formally announced the deal.

Thoughts?

The Yankees certainly have one hell of a bullpen!

The arms are the prize, not Frazier, who will kill more rallies than he starts. NY gave up a ton, and I am not sure it was worth it. Better players could have been had than Frazier, perhaps for less. But we'll never know.

Boston is kinda the winner. Now they can being up Devers, who's better than anyone the BoSox could have traded for.

What's interesting is that they traded for a 3B to play 1B possibly.

That's a nasty lineup in AZ.

I'm really bummed about the Yankees trading Rutherford. I think he's going to be a star. I guess it's nice they have control over Kahnle and Robertson for a few more years though.
