They used to never do that, then all the kids worked out, all the bad contracts except Ellsbury are gone, and you have a butt ton of money waiting to improve a 100 win team. I miss the Three Stooges management of 10-15 years ago. This is true.....and I'd LOVE to get rid of Ellsbury!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the team to give up three prospects for him - somebody in the organization thinks he's healthy. He gives us guts and performance all accomplished for an under performing organization. Can fill in for Chapman if necessary (due to injury or workload) - or Betances if he slides into Chapmans role (due to injury or workload) and replaces the left handed arm of Chasen Shreve who was inconsistent. It's a good add. Shreve was more than inconsistent. He sucks. 1 hour ago, bigbadbuff23835 said: Yeah but we don’t need pre-injury Britton. Lol I'd like to have pre-injury Britton.

mission27 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Tate throws upper 90s with a swing and miss slider and a good minor league track record he's not a nobody. In another system he'd be a bigger deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though very few of the kids turned into anything whether we traded them or not, its more about Yankees improving their player development than anything else.

In another system he'd be a bigger deal. MLB Pipeline had him as your #9 guy entering the year, and BA had him just outside the top 10 if I recall, and moved him to #6 in their midseason review. So he's clearly moving away from his struggles with the Rangers. If he is a 3-4 starter for the Orioles, that is great. To me, Carroll is the most interesting piece of the deal. He dominated the AFL, and has held opponents to a .151 average this year and has a fastball that can get up to 101, with a potential knock-out slider if he can locate it. If he can figure that out, Carroll is the closer for the Orioles for the future. I haven't heard much on Rogers, but the Orioles do need a left-handed starter, so I think he gets a chance to make the rotation next year, as well as a few starts once the rosters expand. I do not see the team rushing any of these prospects from the past two deals, or any other deals, up until then. IMO, this is a great deal for both sides. You have to throw out the two bad games Britton had, as he was still adjusting and getting his timing down- he missed all of spring training and workouts, and didn't get on a mound until almost a month into the season. This month, he's been lights out, and netted us a better centerpiece in Tate than what the Astros offered last year in Moran. The Yankees, while they gave up some good pieces, didn't give up any of their top tier/high ceiling pieces and made sure they didn't lose anyone to the Rule 5 draft and make that roster crunch a bit easier. The Orioles get pitchers who all have a future with them, all three sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Interesting pickup for the Yankees. Wonder if this is their big trade deadline deal or if they do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
