    Yankees are reportedly in talks with several teams, they aren't sleeping at all.
    Think Fisher and a throw-in nets us Wheeler (rental)?

    They lost 12-0 to Toronto and now 14-2 to the Pirates in the last 2 out of 3 games at home. Total embarrassing

    Might do it... at this rate, they will probably need to land two arms... one SP and reliever

    True. Ideally, if we can pay a rental price, and then extend (or re-sign), that's optimal.
    And, sounds like Luhnow's comments implied he was only looking for one addition, but you never know what tricks he has up his sleeve. I agree, two arms: one starter and one reliever, is what we need. I'll take either Smith or Watson from SF, those are my first choice(s). I'm sure there's plenty of others, but those two stick out for several reasons.

    It looks like the league has caught up to Tyler White. Stassi the new weapon out of the bullpen.

    Tyler White needs to off this team. Bring up Tucker.

    Is this joke way over my head or are you being serious? About our lack of Major League depth?

    Hmmm... Urquidy also pitched today.

    Would make sense.

    In August of 2017, the team went 11-17 in August.
    It's clear they're overwhelmed when they're down 5 runs before they can even breathe
    Luhnow knows what needs to be done.
    As to the Rangers being 5.5 back, didn't people want more competition.
