    Adding Mancini and now Vazquez is huge. Both long term pieces of AL East teams that have played in Yankees Stadium a lot and won't be intimidated playing in front of their fans. :cool:

    So it’s either Mancini to 1st and Gurriel to the bench or Mancini in the OF I’m assuming? Then what? Maldonado to the bench? Or Alvarez to the OF with Maldonado still starting catcher and Vazquez DH?

    I can't for the life of me understand how/why these trades get announced with only one side known.

    It's pretty important info to know who we're giving up for Vazquez. But that info can't be found anywhere.

    I want to be hyped for the acquisition, but I need to know what we paid.

    Mancini is gonna play LF something is wrong with Brantley may go to the 60 day dl.
    Vasquez could play 1B and C.

    Astros are not done by a long shot. Crane has said so himself in the latest report

    Pham to the Red Sox is interesting- is this a signal of moving on from JD Martinez?

    Edit: Vazquez is a rental. So hopefully that means rental prices.
