Ceccini for Maurer
johnsilver
Both of the Ceccini brothers have turned out to be bust prospects unfortunately. I don’t think anybody in the game front office wise sees either Gavin, or Garin as worthy of more than a retread.

Wait, how is Gavin a bust? He’s had 6 major league at bat, 2 hits (both doubles). I don’t think he’ll turn into anything special, but you can’t call him a bust after SIX at bats.
dodgerfan711
They passed on Seager for him and he was supposed to be the SS of the future for the mets. He is definitely a bust but doesn’t mean he cant still contribute
johnsilver
Garin never hit above AA and Gavin, who did hit in the comedy league PCL his 1st season, is not hitting doing it this year and never had any power, speed or glove, just like his brother.
It’s a shame because both were touted as such hyped up kids in High school and coached by their father. Will the same thing befall the Renfroe brothers David (already a fail) and Hunter, a free swinging player, also from the PCL who never saw a pitch he didn’t like and does not walk with the padres?
Highly touted brother combinations out of high school are not always sure things.. here is proof.

the mets passing on Seager has nothing to do with anything, also Ceccini was probably never gonna be the SS of the future
metseventually 2
Okay, that STILL doesn’t make him a bust.
Once again, he’s had 6 ML at bats.
dwhitt3
He didn’t live up to the hype as a minor leaguer. What makes u think he’s gonna break out in the bigs?
Say Hey Now Kid
It’s a little early for the Mets to think about a major trade. Especially with a team who asks so much In return.
I’m afraid they need to ride this season out. The Mets chose to live or die by their young pitching staff and it’s not worked out for them. But a major trade could cause further problems down the line with no guarantee of results this year

3 game losing streak? No winning team ever has those, right?
acarneglia
Lol how dare NYY lose three straight.
The loss to CIN was the 6th of a 6 game road trip, and the 2 other losses were against a very good Houston team that sent their ace to the mound for the first game(Keuchel) and faced a rookie the next
Eileenyy9
You are exactly correct!!
YOUR encouraging words were what I wanted to express, thank you..
dust44
Also 2 days after playing 18 innings
Eileenyy9
AMEN!!
dwhitt3
McCullers isn’t a rookie
thegreatcerealfamine
And Joel Sherman is such a reliable source!
vinscully16
Devers.
bastros88
yankees lost the last 3 games is news, but nobody’s talking about the cubs being 18-17 and in 4th place
Eileenyy9
lolol
lesterdnightfly
Cards fans sure are, and rightly so — you know, the self-anointed “BFIB”.
reflect
3 games wow the Yankees are definitely done. I bet they don’t win another game all year.

I was wondering for years why Giradi has to be so stubborn as to be putting in the same losers who are buzz kills, like Chris Carter, and Stephen Drew, etc. in the game.
O yeah, and watch Giradi give CC 10 more starts, lmao, before he proves how wonderful he can pitch and turn himself around!!
This manager also should never ever keep Holliday out of a inter league game either!! Just keep putting him in at first because Carter’s signing wasa Bust!!
I have high hopes though come this summer deadline, we shall have a couple of stud pitchers and hopefully another first baseman. We all knew this outcome would happen when management let every single available pitcher pass them by!! THEY didnt have to break the bank either.
One more thing to vent, lol, I guess Bird cannot hit in the majors, only in Spring Training.
There are plenty of hurt players hitting!!
Ok, I feel better now!!
bastros88
idk mate they lost the last 3 games the yankees season seems finished
Eileenyy9
it will be if they don’t leave Carter on the highway somewhere. put CC in the Pen and get a couple of pitchers who can pitch!!..Also on their bucket list should be getting rid of Larry Rothschild who can’t even fix a nail in the wall!!
I am hoping Chapman is okay.
iamcompuman2
Eileen, thats just scratching the surface! The year just started and already I’m looking through the free agency list. Lol. Tanaka isn’t pounding out K’s (thanks to everyone getting familiar with his killer sinker), CC was better when he was a drunk, Pineda is doing what he always does (strikeout high numbers and give up runs). The only real shocker is that both kids are doing well. Severino is a bigger shock than Montgomery. Then again, this is only the beginning. If they were smart they’d look in to the trade rumors we’ve been hearing about. Garrit Cole and Quintana are half decent choices to fill the void when (not IF… When) one of our guys decline. I could go on and on but it’s 4am and this beer won’t drink itself lol

They lose three games and it’s time to raise questions? By that standard, the Mets should completely fire sale for the next 5 years.
Tiger_diesel92
It’s only may right we still have another 130 games to go into the season anything can still happen
Eileenyy9
lol, cute. great reply
Macho King OG
The Yankees lost to Houston’s best pitchers. Tomorrow they face the back end of Houston’s rotation against Severino and Tanaka, so we’ll see if we can sweep the double header which is very possible.
Eileenyy9
from your mouth to God’s Ears!!
iamcompuman2
Ohhhh wowwww so we lose a few games and the world stops spinning? Lol. I have to agree with a few comments here. Starting Carter at 1B instead of Holiday was stupid and reckless managing on Girardi’s part. Especially when Holiday was and has always been a proven hitter, older or not. They need to organize the lineup and stop putting pressure on Judge by putting him higher in the lineup. And what’s with putting Sanchez at the second spot?? Ugh..
Eileenyy9
so true!#
stratcrowder
Be thankful Joe Girardi isn’t Joe Maddon.
Eileenyy9
Joe Madden was the one who destroyed Chappy s arm, and boy was he ever right when he said he was over used!!!!!
Eileenyy9
you are my kinda fan!!!

Re. the Red Sox woes @ 3 B.
What about a trade for Longoria–DD might as well clear out the remainder of the Minor League talent and get another proven fielder and hitter that could lead them to a championship. Rutledge @ 3 B , with an .879 Fielding % in 13 games is not going to give any confidence to the Sox staff.. Longoria’s .979 is what we have needed and can you imagine him with the rest of the lineup.
Todd Frazier would be a welcome addition even with a .181 BA. You know that would improve in Boston.
Devers (3 B @ AA), Johnson ( AAA) or Beeks (AA) in addition to Trevor Kelley @ Greenville (Low A)..
Come on DD this staff has been great get what’s needed!!!!!
raysdaze
Lol, this would take waaay more than even DD would be willing to part with.
Eileenyy9
haaaaa, lolol, this was precious
IamComp. adorable and it is everying I am thinking myself.
All these questions that the other fans are saying are
coming up now because the Yanks lost 3 in a row are questions that have already been there since last year, or b4, SAME questions are coming up again!!!
jmi1950
No need to panic. Devers will get a shot in Sept. and if he looks good could make the playoff roster like Boegarts did in 2013. Without Price and the worst 3b play possible they are only 2 games back. DD is building this team for the long haul. Only Moreland (who will be replaced by Sam Travis), Chris Young & Abad are FA’s next year.
Dynasty
Yankees lost 3 in a row!?!?!! NOOOOOOOO!
