Yanks Reportedly Claim Esmil Rogers Off Waivers from Toronto

Fungible relief pitcher.  Had a great age 26 year for Cleveland but below average since.  Gives up homers.

One question.

Why?????

Thank you.




However, if this is all they do, and do not trade anyone of significance from the Farm, I will be satisfied. I would rather they trade Robertson, trade Kuroda to the Dodgers (I think Hirok will agree to that one) and trade McCann, if possible, even if you have to eat 3-4 million a year, to an NL team. I know that won't happen, but hey - I can dream!!

No harm yet.

90 minutes left.

With these odd guy pitchers, we now must wonder if the Analytics Dept saw something from his age 26 season that he will now be encouraged to reintroduce.

He might be a ROOGY.

Bob Nightengale þ@BNightengale · The #Rays still are talking to the #Tigers, #Mariners and #Pirates, and yes, even the #Yankees about Price.

Am told Yankees could be making a late charge into the Price sweepstakes. Still seems unlikely unless NYY gives up multiple top prospects

Unlike some, I don't think Cashman is a moron. If he trades for Price, that opinion will change.

He's got to recognize that power lefties who are losing velo aren't good investments.

Gun to my head: I would have rather emptied the farm for Cespedes.

It's not that Cashman is a moron. He's average and has been here way too long. That produces harmful biases. Like saying that Melky is a 4th OFer.

But yeah, just caught a moment of Sweeny on a break and he is saying Price is possible.

Hearing “no chance” #Yankees get Price.

My first sentence was meant to say that I prefer big hitters to almost any pitcher, with exceptions like Kershaw, of course, but not Price.

LINJ,

Cespedes has good power, obviously, but he doesn't get on base enough to warrant giving up the farm.

Mike

I am saying that I value him over Price. That's all. I wouldn't trade the farm for him in isolation.

Now, a free agent to be, YES.

OMG, Sweeny is an idiot. He like Byrd. Given his age and contract, there is no one I want less.
