This came about a month too late. Better late than never, though.
MB923
Bout time.
malcmania
LONG overdue
Jose Borrero
about time I cant believe he lasted this long any pitcher they get it`s gonna be an improvement over him lollllll
Yankeeboy11
FINALLY. Jeeeeeeeezzzzzz
Joseph Gonzalez
The they dumped carpenter so quick but kept yousmell Rogers around this long is sad smh
Jo JoAnne
Agreed.. Carpenter has a way better chance of turning his season around..
Joseph Gonzalez
He set up kimbrel for crying out loud ! Plus he has a very good fastball with a nasty curve. Joe didn’t use him a lot which made him getting the feel for his curve impossible
Calvin M
That’s kind of the way it is with relief pitchers. They have to come out of the gate with their stuff working or they are of no use to the team.
Dynasty22
Not true. Girardi used Carpenter 9 out of the last 20 games that he was on the team. It just wasn’t working.
Sleeper
I don’t get why people think riding themselves of Carpenter was any worse of a decision. Rogers being bad doesn’t take away from Carpenter being essentially just as bad for them.
MB923
Yep he probably will. Was hoping they’d get rid of Rogers first, but I guess that isn’t really relevant now.
dayanks
*every Yankee fan sighs in relief*
Jo JoAnne
Why did they keep him around so long? Wasn’t he just a waiver wire pickup from the Jays last year?? You would think if the Blue Jays were casting pitchers off they would be just about worthless..
MB923
Sometimes one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Heck even the $250 million Dodgers had to use David Huff and Scott Baker this season start games (both whom have been dropped by the Yankees in the past)
MB923
It was reported before the game that Santos is already in Baltimore. If that is true, gotta figure he’s replacing Rogers.

Good, Esmil fails even as a mop up guy.
AHH-Rox
It’s been a bad couple of weeks for Rockies castoffs. Before Rogers, we had DFAs for Alex White, Jordan Pacheco, Eric Young Jr., and Tommy Field. If I were Rob Scahill or Franklin Morales I’d be getting worried.
Joseph Gonzalez
The era of yousmell Rogers is finally over, thank god !!!! They dfa carpenter asap but kept this human white flag around for 1/3 of the season. Just give Capuano his long man/mop up role and call up pinder for now
Jeremy Levine
How about the Yankees go after Ernesto Frieri. He was just released DFA’d by Tampa Bay and he’s struggled as of late, but I could see him thriving in NY like he did with the Angels. He’s 29 and would be a great addition to the bullpen to bridge middle relief to Betances-Miller.
connfyoozed .
I have no idea how Frieri looked this year, but I can tell you that last year a lot of his problems were mental. He looked and acted like he had no confidence whatsoever.

Next man up!

Jose Ramirez.
Seemingly always a mess.
Hopefully wrong – but he appears to implode.
…not good for a pitcher.
simply – not good.
Please try again – Mr. Cashman.
