We didn't sell high on Tauchman and now we get someone who shouldn't be in our bullpen in return.

Tauchman traded? Didn't see that coming.........
With a 26 man roster, it makes no sense to devote two bench spots to two guys who do the same thing.
Last night we had Odor flailing at the lefty offerings in the big spot and there was no one to PH because of the redundant bench.
So now the Yanks make the move. And have ditched the guy who is seven years younger and a few million cheaper.
Because the GM is in love with the other guy.

Gardy isn't the solution or the problem. This is a nothingburger move that better be the beginning of a pivot.

Yeah and the fact that Gardner is still better in every aspect of the game except arm....
It's too bad because he has a lot of intangibles. Not to mention some good speed.
Exactly. There’s a lot wrong with the Yankees, going with Gardy over Tauchman as OF 4 isn’t one of them. Some of you guys talk about it as if they chose Gardy over Darryl Strawberry

if “the writing was on the wall” with the Gardner signing. They gave him another chance and he’s shown close to nothing. Oh well.

I still may take Gardy!
I believe rich in DC used exactly those words to predict Tauchman's fate when Gardner was signed. And it has come to pass.
Even if Tauchman had performed somewhat better, there still would have come a moment like last night where the liability of the redundant bench would be apparent. And Gardner isn't going anywhere with this GM, so it had to be Tauchman.
And the point isn't that there is anything special about Tauchman. But he's minimum wage and likely to be just as useful as a 38 yo Gardner.
Dammit, I jinxed him.

Stop, he is not as good as Gardner and never will be.
Now pile on this soft-tossing fella.
Stop, he is not as good as Gardner and never will be.
There was a game vs Toronto where Yanks needed a run late. Both Tauchman and Gardner were available to pinch run.
Tauchman was sent out and stole second and third (before being thrown out at the plate on a contact play).
Gardner was sent out the same inning as a trail pinch runner behind Tauchman.
That tells you who the Yanks recognize is the better baserunner/base stealer right now. And that's what you want a bench guy to do.
Players don't stay the same; if they did, no one would have to retire.

Oh, one play, wow. Look Tauchman may be faster than Gardner now, maybe.
If, I had to chose between the two, I would take Gardner 10/10. No question, no doubt as of right noww.
Seriously.
Geez, not you. Dumb to send Stanton - yes. Fire Please. Come on adamg....
Seriously.
Judge was on his own, yesterday.
Frazier better swing at every fastball in the zone in this AB. He is a few days from being traded or demoted.

Was thinking the same thing on that slide...
Was thinking the same thing on Frazier...(well just a little bit)
I’m shocked at Frazier too. More than any other development this season. Wtf happened to his bat.
Knockwood, but this was a very encouraging start by Kluber. Nasty breaking stuff. He is on fumes about now, but very nice pitching.
When he connects, it's literally unbelievable. That single could have killed someone. I still think he's unnecessary on this team...but it's just an opinion

HRs, but geez, does he hit anything under 110 mph?

If he is healthy, he is not unnecessary. Still a devastating hitter.
It is, but it is about stretching him out and having him work when tired. I'm sure Kluber is working on returning to form, so he need to get out of jams.

WTF was that.
Geez, not you. Dumb to send Stanton - yes. Fire Please. Come on adamg....
Frazier is also struggling big time. Yankees only have 1 real Of on the team right now

Last 3 balls were hit on the screws but he got out of it. Very good start.

+1

do we have a 3rd base coach? Judge yesterday and now Stanton today?
Seriously.
Judge was on his own, yesterday.
This is what I get for trusting people. I heard it was on the coach.
Lol. got a make up call there
My though also, So set up for slider....Gary call there.
I think I said that last season..he can be that good, maybe better.
More betterer

he's definitely unnecessary, and hes clogging the roster.
Personally exit velo means nothing to me. who cares? at the end of the day it's still a single
