2017 YANKEES SEASON THREAD VOL: All downhill from here

Didi is the truth. Severino with the great bounce back start.

Good guys win

Wanted to grab a brew during lunch and watch some of the game but it's already PPD make up date September 25th.

New York Yankees: More than $50 million come off the Yankees’ payroll this offseason, and by the time 2019 rolls around, they’ve got only $74.2 million guaranteed – less than the Royals or Marlins. Were Masahiro Tanaka to opt out of his current deal this offseason, the Yankees would rank 19th in committed money for ’19.

All of which is to say: Baseball should be scared. The upper reaches of Yankees management want Bryce Harper, and they can get him. If they really wanted to shoot the moon, they could target Harper and Machado. It’s a lot easier to spend on pricey free agents when they’re young – Harper and Machado will hit the market at 26 – and when there’s a core of stars like the one New York is building.

The Yankees’ patience in building the Aaron Judge-Gary Sanchez-Luis Severino core should be applauded. A few years ago, after they’d committed to going young, the Yankees received a whopper of a proposition from the Braves, who were about to start their rebuild: Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons, Melvin Upton Jr., Chris Johnson and David Carpenter for Judge, Sanchez, Severino and pitching prospects Ian Clarkin and Manny Banuelos. The Yankees said no. And because of it, nobody in baseball is in a better place to pounce in the 2019 offseason.

That might've gone done as our worst trade ever. We dodged a few bullets.

Kershaw won't leave LA but boy would that be special.

Kershaw would get us to the playoffs and then will disappear.

What has he done for the Dodgers in the playoffs?

What has he done for the Dodgers in the playoffs?

He was pretty damn solid last year and on short rest.

If you don't want the best pitcher in baseball lawlz.

I'm not questioning how good he is in the regular season, it's his ineffectiveness in the playoffs. Not to mention his career post season ERA is 4.55. He reminds me of how A-Rod was terrible for the team in the playoffs for the most part.

Tanaka better show up tonight

Headley is so lost at the plate right now

 

[onewearz]

[nick.]

Can we score some runs for Tanaka?

 

[onewearz]

[essential1]

Shades of last year.

 

[onewearz]

Warren & Clippard slipping kind of makes me think DRob would be a significant possibility come the trade deadline.

After a really good start, the White Sox have slipped to 4th in the Central and are only 1.5 Games up to being worst record in the AL.

That throw from Gary :x :x

Yankees sending a message to Head by showing Gleyber highlights on the big screen between innings? Sad!

Any truth to this?
