73 degrees and mostly cloudy at first pitch. No threat of precipitation.

A lot can happen in 10 days, I'm inclined to think Cashman keeps all his bullets available and sends Frazier down to get regular at bats unless Clint goes on a hot streak and starts raking.
I am not sure why I would move him at this point
I think the only "why" is a good starting pitcher. We're still short at least one of those.
Severino is back in July, and supposedly Monty in August.
Based on Gardner's age and contract status, I would keep Frazier around myself.
If Gardner were younger, that would be a different scenario.
No disagreement from me. I'm just looking at what the Yankees may be thinking. The Giants and Pirates were scouting last night's game per the Post:
BALTIMORE — With the Giants and Pirates having scouts at Camden Yards on Tuesday night, Clint Frazier could not have picked a better time to display his right-handed power in front of clubs who could provide a starting job for him.
The going-nowhere Giants are getting calls about lefty starter Madison Bumgarner and their outfield is a mess. The Pirates, who started Tuesday night’s action in the NL Central hunt, talked to the Yankees two years ago about Frazier before they traded Gerrit Cole to the Astros prior to last season.
With his path to regular playing time in The Bronx blocked by Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and in the not-so-distant future when Estevan Florial surfaces in the big leagues and either takes over center field or moves to a corner, Frazier’s highest value to the Yankees might be as a trade chip.

Well, you know the media in this town...
When they say Frazier is 'blocked by Stanton',
and 'in the not so distant future by Florial'
They didn't mention Gardner at all.
How are you blocked by somebody who is hurt in
the minors, if you are already playing major league games? They have it reversed, LOL.
No one knows what Florial is going to become either.
The media is doing their thing, I get it.
The scouts from other teams, doing their due diligence.
We can wait and see.
Yep he would be interesting. I'm not saying Frazier is a future MVP/untouchable but the Pirates and Giants can take a long walk off a short pier. The Giants are going to ask for an ace package for MadBum and he's basically a #3 starter right now and heading downward. The Pirates? they had their shot at our blue chippers with Cole. Who are they shopping Archer? LOL. They are the stooges that ridiculously over payed for him and his current over 5 ERA. Honestly I like the shape of our organization now. The depth is superb as we've seen over the past few months. Could we use a top SP? Sure who can't? but we can win it all with what we have. It will come down to the pen in the playoffs any way. Hopefully fingers crossed we get Sevi back in the 2nd half.

Wonder what it would take to get him. The Jays are going nowhere and Stroman would be excited to come to his childhood team.

Don't forget that Jordan Montgomery will probably be back sometime in the August-September timeframe. Probably too late to be of much, if any, value in 2019- but getting him back on the mound for at least a few starts would have him ready for 2020. Assuming full recovery, that's yet another SP in the stable for 2020.
The media tends to overlook the big picture for the flashy story. With Severino, the Yanks have a true #1 SP. With German, likely at least a #3 SP going forward. Montgomery gives you a solid #5 SP- they have value too.
With Tanaka and Paxton under contract this year and next, the Yanks have the rotation covered. Now, if they can add some upper level SP depth, that might work too- but the sports media is once again chasing the wrong story.
If you think about it assuming everyone comes back healthy I'm not sure how much help we'd need at the trading deadline anyway.
Unreal with this guy.

Yep. You were right, my friend.

It looks great to me too but can we 100% count on Sevy this year? Until he starts throwing and feeling good, we can't pencil him in as a definite IMO. Also, I'm thinking German is on some type of innings limit this year, and I don't know how they're going to approach that.
Of course Morales grounds into the easy DP. Booooo
Double for Gardy. Let's get him home.
Keep pounding the piss out of them. I hope we put up another 10 spot tonight.
Different home runs every night.
Should be fun Josh. How far do you have to go to get to the stadium?

I live in the north west of England so only a few hours or so

Looks pretty far, so North of Liverpool. Well hopefully you get to see a good game and the Yanks crush the Sawx. I think that when you see the pitching live, you will be amazed at how fast the ball really looks in person.

I was thinking the same thing arc. Just keep beating the hell out of them. Plus the Sox beat the hell out of them last year and I don't recall them apologizing for it.
It's really great to jump on them early these last two after the comeback late the other night took the fight right outta them. Now the early leads are keeping them down.
We can still feel leftover magic in yesterday's thread...you da man!
He is singlehandedly eviscerating them this year.
Bird bashing.
This team is so bad. But i'll take these W's!
