If the Yankees don't make some moves before the trade deadline, then the team will narrowly earn a Wild Card position. They are losing to teams that should be easy wins, meanwhile the RedSox are winning series with little struggle. Dropping games to the Baltimore and Tampa is a bad sign.

On pace for 104 wins and 6 games out of first place. What a weird season in the AL.

I'm ready to blow up the Mets. This season started so great but turned into the traditional carnival with a black hole in the middle as most mets seasons too.

Calcified heals? Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease? Trade the closer for a bucket of balls? Jay Bruce with like five home runs? Fuck it. Trade DeGrom, trade any and everyone of value, blow it up and be up front about the next couple of years of shit coming our way.

Also, Lol Yanks for last night.

The problem is that nobody will pay the Iron Price it costs to get DeGrom in mid-July. Definitely trade him this offseason though.

Him and Sindergarde can't be on this team next year. Throwing money at veterans doesn't work. Mid season trades aren't enough to make us competitive, can't rely on veterans and we need major stock of postion player talent on the farm. I'd be willing to trade him this off-season for a better return. Lets just hope he doesn't get hurt (which he will, it's the mets).

Yeah do this so tickets are dirt cheap for the next few years at least. :D

Last series you guys took 3 of 4? Team showed gut the past two weekends when I watched them, coming from behind a bunch and winning in extras.
Yeah but they were 1-8 against Houston before that series. Lol

A's are obviously playing way better now but I still don't think they can run with Houston.

That's why it has to be a tag team effort. We'll do our best, you do yours, and we take down the evilness

According to an article written by Ken Rosenthal for The Athletic, the San Diego Padres are making a 'big push' to land Chris Archer.

Later on in the same article, Rosenthal writes that even though the Padres are attempting to land Archer, it appears to be a long shot for a variety of reasons, noting:

"Archer, a potential ace who is under club control at below-market salaries for this season and three more, is precisely the kind of pitcher the Padres figure to target and Rays figure to trade. The only question, in both cases, is when."

Wild card teams should be Cleveland and Seattle.

It's dumb that a 100 win team will be in a wild card game while a 90 win team gets a home field playoff series.

Are there any good dedicated baseball forums out there? I adore r/baseball, but I can't get over the fact that my activity there supports reddit as a whole.

The Rays are like a pitching factory. They sell just about every year, and they just keep bringing up these good, young pitchers. Chirinos looks nasty. Mid-90s sinker and throws strikes.

One the one hand keeping him away from Houston is good. On the other, further loading up on an already obscene bullpen probably means that any dim hopes for a true frontline starter are dead.

Good deal for the Yanks on two fronts. They add to an already great BP. And they keep him away from Houston and Boston.

I don't think that was happening anyway. Degrom is the only one out there, and they'd have to overpay to pry him away from the Mets.

I fine just rolling into October with a stacked bullpen instead of trying to convince ourselves that Happ and Hamels are good pitches. Plus, they could use another lefty regardless.

We do need a guy though to eat some innings. I'd be be fine with Happ or Hamels if we don't have to give up too much.

The Yankees still have to pick up a guy like that by the deadline though. They only have 4 big league starters, one of whom is the disaster formerly known as Sonny Gray. If deGrom was out of the question (that was always a hail mary) I'm fine with Britton + Happ.

Great situational hitting by Romine tonight. An RBI groundout and a sac fly. 2 RBIs on two outs.
