BREAKING: The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire outfielder Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers, sources tell ESPN. The deal is pending medical review. Link - ( New Window )
1. DMM is a great poster and always welcome on Yankees threads.
2. Although I agree with DMM about wanting to hear what the analysts say, interestingly, my friends who work in sports say we (the public) give their opinions too much weight. (My counterargument is: It's the best we have since we don't have the same front office insights you do.)
3. Is anyone worried about the Cole / sticky stuff effect? Or am I being paranoid?

Cole had a great performance against the Astros post sticky stuff. He had a bad 1st inning. Has been very good since.
Can somebody explain why Brett Gardner is still on this team
is the team to go for it all with Gallo, and now reports of them looking into Schwarber and Story. Other then trying to save his job for how poor he has done the last 2 years why would you go all in with such a flawed roster ?
You never want to have a GM who is trying to save his job running your team . Cashman is responsible for this team being mediocre with all these resources he sure as hell ain't going to fix it. However, he will blow all the depth of the farm system to try to squeeze into the WC and lose in the WC game or the 1st round
Having the 2nd highest in payroll in baseball and convincing your fans that the playoffs are a crapshoot so they are satisfied with just making it instead of the truth that the team is flawed and gets exposed in the playoffs, is the biggest con job i have ever seen . Congrats for falling for it.
Give another GM a $210m Payroll , the resources Cashman has been given in regards to the international spending sprees, putting his people in place in key spots in the organization no matter the cost , and tell me they would still have a job winning the division once in in the last decade while your arch nemesis won a WS, rebuilt and already overlapped you, and a team with a fraction of the payroll is better then you every year
Facts are facts. They’ve missed the playoffs twice since Cashman’s been the GM and have never had a losing season. You and I may not like the outcome of them all but, remaining competitive on a consistent basis and making the playoffs is hardly doing a ‘poor job’. Hell, this team was a game away from the World Series in 2017 and two in 2019.
No fan wants to settle for just making it to the playoffs, I get that. But to win it all, you obviously have to make it there first. So, doing that is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than sitting there as a fan of a team they know isn’t going anywhere and, that’s what some of these criticisms of the Yankees look like recently. I’m not saying Cashman’s infallible; he’s definitely made his share of mistakes. I’m just saying it’s not all this doom and gloom that it’s being made out to be.
Yankees prospect Everson Pereira (part of the original Gallo deal) has been pulled from his game today... Hug watch?
Looks like it?

Breaking: someone at the game said a mound visit was called and the manager brought Pereira out of the game with handshakes. Appears a trade is going down.
Tough one to see go if he is indeed traded, but he would have to be put on the 40 man roster after this season, and he's currently in Low A.

on it. Still curious.
Appears to be a false alarm. Saw this:
Everson Pereira is still in the Tarpons dugout and just said “No trade” when asked if he was traded. he says they took him out to rest for game 2 of the doubleheader
