Lots of ball to be played and rumors of AJ99 coming back Friday night, God we need him. For the Sox, check out 10 game stretch they have in August 6 vs Astros, 4 vs Dodgers...that will tell the story of today.

rumors of AJ99 coming back Friday night, God we need him. Yep, offensive production is way off for NYY, not even in top 20 for runs scored so far this season. They are top 10 for fewest runs allowed so pitching and defense are not the issue. I’m sure MB knows this and will bust my chops for stating the obvious. 🤣

I have to give credit to the Angles, being buyers even though they are a long shot at the postseason. Of course if they don't try, Ohtani probably doesn't even put them in consideration next year. Could be a suicide move but I don't think JH would go that road. Even for the modern Babe if he had him now.

If I am the Yankees and I was being honest...I would: 1) Fire Hal, actually Hal should fire himself and sell the team. If Big George still owned the team he would have blown his up months ago. Hal doesnt care, happy "contending"? (which we are not and putting 40K fans in the seat each game 2) Before Hal does that, he should fire Cashman. The glory days are over, he hasn't kept up, teams like Houston, Tampa, Dodgers, consistently good every year...with emerging pharm systems. 3) Act as sellers, dump Stanton, Rizzo, DJ and any other high $$ guys that suck immediately. Pay their salary if you have to. 4) Bring up our best prospects from minors and let them play out the remainder of the season. 5) Keep Boone, guy deserves better...he is playing w a shit roster. Doesnt happen often but this team blows and is going nowhere....just being realistic.

Well, the ALEast pretty much all stood pat at the deadline with the Texas Heat at max (as in Max to Rangers and Verlander back to Astros). Seems like Verlander already amped up his new again club with Framer breaking out of his pitching slump big time by tossing his first NoNo. Guess the race down in big T will be likely to send the AL WS entrant. Can the upstart O's make a run after added ng nothing more? Can the Ray's rekindle their early season magic? Can MB's Yankees pull a rabbit from the pinstriped hat? Will the Red Sox returning players for the IL give them enough to make a run? (McGuire kind of did last night cranking his first homer since last September in his first game back).

I will pull for the Os now Woud be a great story for sure, especially without making moves and the big spenders in TX doing their thing (well, ok. NYM paying a lot for both TX clubs to host their newly acquired starters).

Big spending didnt serve the Mets well. I like Verlander to Houston more than I like Scherzer to TX. I would hate to see Houston win again.....

Agree but I'm not sure the Mets type of spending was wise in anyone's book. I mean the amount they paid Scherzer and Verlander was outrageous for two aging pitchers both likely on the backside of their career apex. And they will be paying quite a bit the balance of this year and next for both of them to pitch for another team. You would think the Bobby Bonilla club would have learned some things. Apparently not.

Steve Cohen doesnt care, $$ is not an object. Verlander will win some big games for Houston. Scherzer will do the same for TX. No one cares about the $$ when spending that much, its about wining the WS.
