I hope this isn't where Kapreilian ends up.
It's just crazy how frequent this has become.
That was me. I'm not sure what caused it.
Oh, I heard Cashman on with Kay. Still nuts about Hicks. Deeply loves Girardi. Was refreshingly honest about A-Rod's future.
Cashman likened Hicks' struggle with Jackie Bradley.....and now Bradley is a star. May need some more patience until Judge comes up
They should have had Sanchez catch Green as he's been doing all year in AAA, where Green has has been dominant.
This is a fun game.
Look, if Hicks turns into JBJ, I'll give Cashman all the credit in the world. I just hope the other prospects are shown the same amount of patience.
I really hope Lindgren comes back and sticks in the bigs eventually. I expect them to re-sign Chapman this offseason, but having another dominant lefty in the pen would be nice.
Refs is overlooked...but they will regret it.
The Bradley comparison is self-serving.
That Met pitcher is a little nuts.
why is he warming up Betances with a 4 run lead and one, and now 2 outs?
It sounds like McCann will DH more once Sanchez's minor thumb issue heals.

OY, but no Westbrook after this season: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/17214921/russell-westbrook-oklahoma-city-thunder-serious-talks-new-deal
OY = OT
Rose may have to be a longer-term answer.
Giants signed Leon Hall. Any interest in Cp3?
Didn't really want Westbrook. Want to see how Rose does, and what we can pick up now that we have picks again.
It makes the Rose deal look even smarter because otherwise, like the pursuit of LeBron years ago, they could be waiting for a ghost.
Chasson Randle signed.

Johnny Barbato has been recalled. Chad Green has been optioned. He will not be eligible to start his next turn on Tuesday.
Looks like Severino is getting the start next time around. They should just keep him in the rotation the rest of the year and have him work on throwing the changeup, results be damned.
I suspect that barring a meltdown or two, he will remain in the rotation. He just has to keep them in games.
Sanchez, Refs, and um, Hicks all in the lineup.
He's already Sanchy.
Teix going for x-rays on shin. If bad, Austin might be called up.
Really nice jumping catch by Refs of a line drive
Rough night at the plate for Refs.
Sanchy had 2 hits.
The Chapman trade, not the Miller one:

#1 – Yankees Acquire Gleyber Torres, Adam Warren, Billy Mckinney, and Rashad Crawford
Aroldis Chapman is one of the game’s most dominant relievers, and the Yankees were in a unique position of owning both of the two elite left-handed relievers that the Cubs coveted. Without any other suitors selling a comparable product, it appears the Yankees were essentially able to name their price, and the price they named was a pretty high one indeed.
You don’t usually see top-25 prospects traded for rentals, but the Yankees landed one of the best young shortstop prospects in the game in exchange for a couple of months of Chapman’s services. That would have been a nice deal in a one-for-one swap, and certainly provided the team with more value than what they would have gotten by making Chapman a qualifying offer this winter.
But the deal wasn’t one for one. In addition to Torres, the team also got back Adam Warren, who was a very good reliever for the Yankees last year, and while his command escaped him in Chicago, he still looks like a guy who could be of value in New York’s bullpen. Warren isn’t any kind of Chapman replacement, but similar relievers were getting multi-year contracts for $5 million a year this winter, so Warren certainly has some real value, even as just a decent middle relief option.
And then the Yankees got two more prospects on top of that pair. I’m not particularly high on McKinney, and Crawford looks like a minor league lifer, but they’re minor league inventory at the least, and you never know when guys like that might turn into more than what they look now. And when the first piece is this good for a rental, you don’t necessarily need the add-on pieces to be of much value.
So, yeah, the Yankees did really well here, taking advantage of a market that was putting a very high price on relievers to help restock a farm system that now looks like one of the best in the game. Given their financial resources, the idea of the Yankees churning out good young talent again has to be pretty scary for the rest of the AL East.
I guess, as reflected in a comment there, that the Miller trade was more for fair value.
Well, it's not going to be Refs under this GM, but the Castro trade was foreseeably awful.
Via RAB
Paul asks: Real talk: is Castro the Yankees’ 2b in 2017? He hasn’t worked out very well. Maybe he’ll be more comfortable both in NY and at 2b? Or do the Yankees pull the plug?
I fully expect Starlin Castro to be the starting second baseman next season. That said, he hasn’t had a good season at all and I’d really like the Yankees to move on and find another second baseman. The guy has over 4,000 plate appearances in the show and he still looks like an overmatched rookie at the plate. No plan whatsoever. Castro has $33.5M left on his contract after this season and I feel like it’s only going to get harder and harder to trade him with each passing year. Move him while you can, then find someone else. Starlin’s closing in on his third replacement level season in the last four years. Next.
This would be good:
The Yankees hope that Bird (shoulder) will be available to play in the Arizona Fall League, Chad Jennings of LoHud.com reports
A lot has happened tonight and ICYMI, Sanchez has tossed out TWO runners at 2nd.
We see you, @ElGarySanchez. 👀pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/CpIoF1gVMAI4Rew.jpgh -- @Yankees

Lindgren getting healthy in 2018 would be perfect timing for a run.
