Hey now. Ok. MiLB deal smart.
giantsfan8
Could be a starter and reliever
ethan 3
so he’s coming back to New York. But on a different team.
goducksgoagogo
Apparently so
pjmcnu
Thank god…
pinkerton
You sure know your teams!
MB923
You’re very smart.
reflect
You could work on ESPN with that analytical mind.
layventsky
No, he knows too much about baseball. Maybe Fox lol.
acarneglia
We might as well give him a shot, it ain’t like we have better options
bucsfan
Passing the physical won’t be automatic. And he’s terrible–although I might be juuuuuust a bit biased on that point. I still want him to sign with Colorado and see if he can give up over 50 HR in a year
acarneglia
Lol
bobbyvwannabe
lol
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
Poor Yanks. This is to pump up a loser like Pineda so that he can think he’s better than some else.
acarneglia
Man don’t hate on Pineda
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
Very easy to do….He BLOWS.
thebare
I’m a Cub fan Yankees never get the bad in of a deal sorry Tanaka
Yankee4Life27
overrated and dumb… poor you.
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
Fan of LOSERS…You have another one to root for now. It sucks to be you doesnt it?
bobbyvwannabe
Talk about one of the unhappiest guys in the sport. That perpetual scowl of his will look good in Pinstripes
22222pete
Even if healthy a huge difference starting in the ALE vs NLE not to mention the home park effect. Could be a useful middle relief guy or long relief guy to soak up garbage innings. I guess being a former Met made him attractive
Kayrall
The difference between divisions and leagues for that matter is quite minimal.
SamFuldsFive
Yet another “The Pirates staff can turn any garbage pitcher into an Ace!” that flopped hard, like the majority have done.
swartnp7
Majority?
Neise, Sanchez, …Bedard?
As opposed to, say, Burnett, Liriano, Nova, Volquez, Happ, Blanton, Grilli?
nsmith12641
Vance Worley could be added to that 2nd list
metseventually 2
HA.

When the Pirates got Jon Niese and I learned the terms of his contract I realized….no matter how much your kid loves hockey, get him off the ice and onto a mound.
Niese made more than Sidney Crosby. Niese BLOWS. And Crosby is the best player on Earth.
yanks2009
Hey you overrratedsandy why don’t you said who is your baseball team??
MB923
He’s a Mets fan who just thinks sandy is overrated.
stl_cards16 2
And he’s proven to not be very knowledgeable about baseball.
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
And you’ve proven to be kinda stupeed.
yanks2009
A total looser!!
MB923
As opposed to a total tighter?
layventsky
Haha!
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
Yes stl_cards16 is a total loser. Agree!
stl_cards16 2
You make me smile. It must be fun always being mad. I bet you’re a joy to be around!
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
I am. You’re the one with the nasty comment. Angry that the Cards will blow mightily this year?
bosox90
It’s amazing, the difference between comment threads depending on what team the article is about. I think I’ve read enough from Yankees and Padres fans today…
(Disclaimer: not all Yankees fans and Padres fans are awful, and not all fans of other teams, especially Boston, are peachy. But I can’t believe how many times I’ve read the word loser and seen references to mental institutions in the same place where advanced metrics are often discussed.)
mikeyank55
When Panda busts his belt and Hanley misbehaves without Papi around to keep him in check, bosox fans will show their true colors of anger and resentment. Long before 4tu of July it will be “Go Pats” at Fenway
rper4182
Haha
rper4182
Worst signing in history why is everyone shying away from Lewis
mikeyank55
Niese might contribute some serviceable innings now that he has had time to recover from the Mets overuse and abuse. It has taken a couple of seasons to restore his shoulder and elbow. Classy, he did not point the finger at “TC” who leads MLB in games missed due to DL stints. Instead Jon focused on pitching for an organization that protects pitchers!
Larry David's Joe Pepitone Jersey
Yankees pitchers don’t throw as many innings because they get knocked out of the game by the 6th inning.
bronxbombers
I remember countless times when Tanaka pitched last year and was taken out in the 6th with only 80 something pitches because of betances miller chapman
BSPORT
Should check last years pitching stats. I believe Yankee starters went further into games than mets starters with the exception of Colon who they no longer possess. I believe ERA was comparable also.
rycm131
I like it! I could see him winning 15 to 20 games this year
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
What are you Smoking? Niese SUCKS..I have watched him enough. He gets unravelled when anything goes wrong on the field and then can’t finish up. With Pineda and Niese the Yankees are taking a big step back.
tomrantmore
Worthwhile gamble. If healthy he has good stuff, nothing Earth shattering but you can get some quality starts out of him.
BSPORT
If he pitches well I would trade him. Any prospect they can get would be worth a shot. Everybody knows what Niese is and I doubt coming off injury he is going to become a great pitcher for years to come. I see him as same as Carter signing. Cheap chance to bring in more prospects when teams are desperate for playoff run.
