Grittybeard posted:Speaking as a fan of a team that wants to rip you off for rentals what do the Yankees need? Pitching with at least a year left on the contract. Unless Tanaka turns it around and the Yankees look like they can really beat the Astros, I don't see the FO moving away from their "We're not selling the farm for rentals" stance.

https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/871744403823616001 This was the PTBNL that completes the Thornburg/Shaw trade. Tyler Thornburg: On the 60-day DL with what the Sox think is a nerve issue in his shoulder. Red Sox 3B have combined for 54 wRC+ and -0.6 WAR so far this season. Travis Shaw has a 123 wRC+ and 1.3 WAR.  EDIT: Oh and the Brewers also got Mauricio Dubon, IF who is hitting .294/.346/.383 with 25 steals in AA.

Went to the Yankees game tonight, my friend's girlfriend gets really good seats in the 200 through work. After some shittalking of Chris Carter, I'm sitting there telling my friend about how Ice Fist is coming to town for the Brewers series. Guy in the row in front of me who was ribbing Carter with me asks if I already got tickets, so I tell him no, I was just gonna get them seek of on StubHub. Dude offers to just sell me his season tickets for the seats he's in, face value. Then gives me his e-mail and says with a week's notice he's willing to sell 'em whenever. So I think I've got "a guy" now? Either way, it was cool.

Sydin posted:You and every team looking to contend this year. Like off the top of my head the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians, Twins, Brewers and Cubs would all need rotation upgrades to make a viable post season run. Maybe Tanaka remembers how to throw a breaking pitch though. If that happens and we're seeing the real Severino and Pineda, I think the stand pat on the rotation. They should go for a lefty for the bullpen, but that's a concern regardless of the playoff situation, honestly.

Although only a ~2 month rental, while the guys you mention would be longer term trades. I would take Archer over the rest. Lynn and Gray have injury concerns, and Quintana is just sucking.

What's the parking situation like at Angel Stadium? I'm flying out to my company's CA office and I'm gonna get to a game since the Yankees will be in town, but I'm not sure if I should drive up there myself from Irvine or what.Joey Freshwater posted:I'm juuuuuuust a bit too old.

I was mainly worried about getting charged an arm and a leg for the parking, but given the traffic situation in CA I guess taking a Lyft or something could end up costing me more. Maybe I'll just make my brother drive, although that would be mean since he's gonna be driving over from right near Dodger Stadium.
