The Yankees are acquiring right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the Giants, reports Jack Curry of YES Network. In exchange, the Giants will receive four minor leaguers: Jesus Rodriguez, Trystan Vrieling, Parks Harber, and Carlos De La Rosa. Curry was the first to report that Rodriguez, Vrieling, and Harbor were included in the deal, while FanSided’s Robert Murray later reported the complete package. The deal is now official.
In adding Doval, David Bednar, and Jake Bird today, Yankees GM Brian Cashman was able to acquire three relievers with control beyond this season. That should be useful given the impending free agencies of Devin Williams and Luke Weaver.
Doval, 28, has a 3.09 ERA, 26.2 K%, 12.6 BB%, and 52.6% groundball rate in 46 2/3 innings for the Giants this year. Doval burst onto the scene in 2021 as one of baseball’s hardest-throwing relievers.
Unlike most baseball executives, Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey had firsthand experience with Doval’s talent, having served as his catcher in Posey’s final season. As a rookie, Doval made three appearances in the NLDS for the Giants.
A few months in the 2022 season, Doval was entrenched as the Giants’ closer. He had a couple of strong years, including 39 saves and an All-Star appearance in 2023. However, with his walk rate spiking to 14.4% in 2024, Doval was sent to Triple-A in August as Ryan Walker took over closing duties. By the end of May this year, Doval had won his closer job back.
Doval has had better results this year with a 3.09 ERA, though his still lives in dangerous territory with a 12.6% walk rate. Some of that is mitigated by his ability to keep the ball on the ground. Doval likely won’t be tasked with the ninth inning for the Yankees, given the presence of Williams, Bednar, and Weaver.
Doval is under team control through 2027. He’s earning $4.525MM in his first arbitration year, about $1.44MM of which remains this season. Given the Yankees’ 110% competitive balance tax bracket, they’ll spend about $3MM to have Doval for the remainder of this season. The club has run its CBT payroll up to about $316MM, according to RosterResource.
Posey’s Giants, meanwhile, save money and further stock the cupboard with minor leaguers, having also traded Mike Yastrzemski and Tyler Rogers in the last few days. According to Baseball America, De La Rosa has the best upside of the four acquired for Doval. The 20-year-old righty was graded 45/extreme risk by BA, who called him a “fine lottery ticket” who is on the upswing. BA graded Rodriguez as 40/high risk, suggesting he “could have a future as a second-division regular who takes reps behind the plate and occasionally at third base.”
Though unranked by BA, Vrieling is more highly regarded by MLB.com, who assigned the righty a 40 grade. They concluded, “he’ll have no more than a back-of-the-rotation ceiling unless he can develop a better-than-average offering.” Harber, now 23, was signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Yankees. He’s reached High-A this year as a corner infielder. He may be a bit old for his level, but Harber has a 156 wRC+ in 152 PA and may soon prove ready for Double-A.

Last report was they were keeping him, must be a good return
Yes, nice 4 closers now!
Should be.
Last minute deal, years of control…
Meh return.
The good thing is if I’m wrong no one will know for five to ten years. But as of right now? Meh.
Yeah, the return for rogers was much better for sure. Especially cause Camilo isn’t a rental
I just saw the haul for Yaz. Only one pitcher, but he looks better than the whole hall for Doval.
Yeah, even as kooky and frustratingly inconsistent as Doval is, I thought he’d bring more in return.
Doval is a headcase. Great tools but unreliable control. Not Closer material but the Yanks don’t need to use him that way.
Cashman’s going all-out for 2025…
If that’s the case he should have traded for a Manager
True.
OK, who do you want instead of him running the team he’s got one of the toughest jobs in baseball. He’s not just the manager. He’s the guy that has to deal with all the BS that comes with being in New York. The only thing I see wrong with the man is he’s loyal to a fault. The guy is damned if he does damned if he doesn’t he is in a constant catch 22. 90% of the decisions that everybody questions that he makes are made because he has information that the people criticizing him don’t have.
Taking a Red Sox fan’s advice seriously is the last thing I expected.
Being loyal to a fault is a real problem in a manager.
I doubt how many decisions he, or any manager for that matter, actually make. Most decisions are sent down from thefront office. Managers don’t do what the used to
Bill Parcells always used to say, “you are what your record says you are”. And Boone’s record is one of being very good. But not great. With the NYYs, if you don’t win a WS, you are relegated to the group of “good not great”. With the assets and players he has had at his disposal, he has not gotten over the hump. If after all these moves, he does not at least get them deep into the tournament this year? He’s gone.
Cora for Boone who hangs up first?
I know Cora is a jerk, but so is buffoon, I would make that deal with the second
@Rsox, and for a real GM.
why would he trade his girlfriend, the seded chewing buffoon
Yankees pen looking fire. Great bench. Boone can work his magic!
Magic? LMFAO!!
Boone has the opposite of the Midas touch, everything he touches turns to crap. He will have no idea how to manage these new bullpen pieces and most likely do the worst possible thing.
Camilo will drive you nuts. Get ready.
It does seem that way.Maybe because their fans really want a title.It has been a little while.
But two days he was “dumpster diving” according to all the geniuses.
I really like him
Let’s go. My gray hairs are gone.
Food tastes better.
Doval, bednar, weaver, and Williams is dangerous
Will they have a tag team match to see who gets to be closer and setup man? Oh man right now I wish Chafin got traded there ibstead of LA. I can picture him jumping from the top rope to smash all three and his mustache intimidating the Yankees into changing their facial hair policy.
Nice imagery
Facial hair policy changed months ago though
They have already changed their facial hair policy. In part, due to Devin Williams.
That sounds dis promising if you’re looking through those “Yankee goggles”, otherwise it’s Bednar with hittable weaver, unpredictable Williams, and hit & miss Doval…
To get to your bullpen, in good shape, you need some starters and that is your problem , facing Toronto , Boston , and Baltimore… fact!!!
“Unpredictable Williams” is still better than 99 percent of relievers out there. Please name me a reliever less predictable than him over the last 5 years.
You can’t imagine—as most Giants fans do—just how dangerous Doval is. Hang on Yankee fans.
With our luck he’ll turn the corner and become lights out. SMH
What a arma race deadline. Playoff bullpens are stacked
Good pick up for the Yankees
Being a Giants fan? Baseball torture all season? Nah. My greys keeps coming lol
so disappointed in my Giants, what a tease the first half of the season..at least Buster is doing something at the trade deadline compared to Zaidi!
Half the team can’t hit their weight the last few months. I miss April Giants
Me too, I was so hopeful..Then the Devers trade happened and the offense disappeared..
Tbf he also came over when Chapman was hurt. They desperately need a better backup catcher, maybe first will be okay next year with Eldridge, and hoping they give matos every chance in right the rest of the year. Could see them bringing up Mccray though and moving JHL to right since it’s so tough
It’s funny, they’ve been fairly consistent as a team all season. With a team OPS of .687 high and .676 at lowest. With July beating May by .001.
As runs go, they were better in April because most of the hitters were hitting fairly well and were just be dragged down by a few really badly slumping players. And helped by Flores’ timely hitting.
Since? Well, it’s mostly been a few very hot hitters per month while the team as a whole slumps. And Wilmer getting less and less playing time (OPS still .949 w/ RISP).
No, they need a STARTING catcher. Bailey is a backup catcher.
McCray isn’t having that good of a year. Not considering .801 OPS is league average.
@dubtastic
its kind of interesting the Giants fell off (13-24) and Red Sox started doing well (21-15) after the Devers trade. Looks like the trade had the reverse intended effect.
McCray can handle RF at Oracle defensively. Problem is he has too much swing and miss. If he can cut down the K’s, he could be something special. GREAT SPEED.
Here’s hoping Bailey’s offense returns next year. But even his defense has been a bit off this season.
Returns?!? From where?!?!?
In 1092 PA he has a .618 OPS. He’s actually having a better second half this year than the last two. Which is still below .600 OPS.
His best offense was in A-ball when he was older than overage. And that was only for 47 games. He was terrible when promoted to A+ after that.
He only got 120 PA in AA and AAA combined. He was rushed by Farhan to prove he knew what he was doing. He proved he didn’t.
So again, where is this offense going to return from? A time capsule buried long ago?
Very true. His defense is not that good although announcers rave about it. Same can be said about Chapman. Check the stats.
Slash78, No, they do not need a starting catcher. That’s a position where a guy like Bailey, probably the best defensive catcher in MLB, is far more valuable than some mediocre defensive catcher with a better bat.
Teams can win with a glove-only catcher, but they’re not going to win if they also have glove-only guys in RF and 2B. A team needs to cover for a great defensive catcher with production elsewhere, where the work in the field isn’t nearly as important.
It’s no mystery why Posey, a future HoF catcher, shows no indication he’s moving on from Bailey. He knows the importance of the position, and any offense a team gets is just icing on the cake.
At some point it doesn’t matter how “great” his defense is. Especially when you need All Star quality bats at most other positions.
It’s not just Bailey is bad, he’s gotten worse. Like Brandon Crawford’s first season bad. And he hung on because of his defense. The difference is by the time Crawford was at this age and point in his MLB career Crawford was a slightly below average offensive player who’s defense made him an everyday starter. Bailey on the other hand has gone in the opposite direction. His defense no longer makes up for his terrible offense this year.
With the pitch challenge system in place next season cheating, er, “framing”, will be less of an asset, so he’d better get his hitting together.
“At some point it doesn’t matter how “great” his defense is.”
That may be true for SS, or any other important defensive position, but not catcher. SS and catcher are not comparable in terms of defensive importance. There’s a reason why glove-first catchers have long careers in MLB.
And it isn’t just framing. Bailey will still be valuable if that advantage goes away. Catchers have to work with the pitching staff developing a game plan. Catchers mostly call the pitches. They need to block pitches in the dirt. And they’re the biggest factor in shutting down an opponent’s running game.
So again, I’ll trust what Posey does since he knows better, by far, than anyone commenting here.
I’m sure you’ll “trust Posey” right until he sends Bailey down.
That’s not happening this year because for the same Bailey shouldn’t have been a 1st Round Pick, Farhan was terrible at drafting. And worse, his obsession with flooding the Minors with other teams’ castoffs in the off season compounded with him picking up every AAAA player that crossed the waiver wire (and hoarding them in the minors if he could keep them) means not only do the Giants not have a real Starting Catcher, there’s only one catcher at any level the minors having any kind of decent year! (Other positions are nearly as thin).
Well, don’t tell me what I will do, because you’re wrong. If, and that’s a big if, Posey moves on from Bailey, I will trust his decision. Maybe you missed the part when I said he knows more than I do. I don’t have the oversized ego to believe I know more than a sure HoF catcher about catching at the highest level of baseball.
And apparently you also didn’t notice that what Zaidi did, as far as waiver claims and MiL signings, was what every other PBO/GM in baseball does.
Cashman really went and completely upgraded the Yankees biggest weaknesses. He gets a lot of flack but this is one hell of a trade deadline
Will admit i was fully expecting our only get to be a guy like Bird from the Rockies and to call it a day. I think Cash is a little desperate today but i dont mind it
Cashman had to be a little desperate, the bullpen was a mess. Pulling off all of these moves without giving up any of the blue chip prospects is a huge win
He is the best GM in baseball…you know if you measure by the amount of MLB games his rosters win.
Cashman is better than people let on but he’s far from the best GM. Although he does seem to be finally learning from his past mistakes
He’s the opposite of most GM’s. He’s good at building a rotation and a bullpen and even a bench but not good at building the regular roster/offense. It’s judge and no one else. Jazz was ok but there’s too many holes there still.
This is a nonsensical statement. I believe the Yankees offense is first in the AL and third overall. Even without Judge it’s still top 10
I know you say that he is far from the best, but which GM has put together rosters that produce more wins than Brian Cashman during his tenure? I already know the answer. It’s zero. If there is a measurement besides winning, then the Yankees and their fans don’t know what it is.
Just off the top of my head I’d say Andrew Friedman and Erik Neander are better. Friedman also has a huge payroll to work with but does a better job of allocating money than Cashman. The Rays would win 95+ games on an annual basis if Neander had a big payroll to work with. I’m a Yankees fan and I like Cashman more than most but I can’t make a good faith argument for him being the top GM
I can’t help what other owners choose to spend. I get what you are saying, but wins matter. I think the Rays are creative and resourceful and that is cute and all, but the Yankees having 33 straight winning seasons isn’t just good…it’s unheard of in the history of professional sports.
Cashman has far more resources than any of the other GMs. You can only compare him with two GMs who have the same resources, the Dodgers’ GM, who is far better than Cashman and with dombrowski Since 2012, Dombrowski has led three different teams to the World Series, winning one ring, two AL pennants and one NL pennant. In contrast, Cashman has only led one team to the World Series 0 zero rings , winning one AL pennant in 13 years with the richest team in baseball. Let that sink in. With the Yankees’ payroll, Dombrowski would have won at least two or three rings by now in the same period.
Fine. He sucks. I’m tired of this already. Championships aren’t for sale. If that were the case, the Brewers and Rays would be bad, and the Angels would be good. He wins more games than anybody else, regardless of payroll. Dombrowski’s rosters have less MLB wins than Cashman’s do. More is better than less.
Playoff wins are worth a lot more than garbage Meaningless wins vs bad teams, which is what Cashman does. The Yankees bully bad teams, but they drop the ball against good teams. No Yankee fan gives a damn about beating the Orioles 10-0 in June, knowing they’ll drop the ball in October.
1 playoff win in october worth 100 times more than Meaningless wins in july
@carlos
Rice and Jasson have been very solid they’re rookie season where Wells and Vilpe have been flat out slightly regressed. But Jazz, Goldy,, Belly and Grisham have all been good pickups so I’m not sure it’s fair to say there’s too many holes. It’s really SS, C and 3b and usually you can tolerate before average bats at SS and C when your getting power and normally above average defense.
you got it, bro
you you are seeing things clearly unlike some of these other obviously casual fans. they don’t understand the context and how it’s more nuance than they appear to understand. I’d like to see the genius Cashman do so well with the Tampa rays, payroll, ha, ha, ha, they’d be in last place every year
No they aren’t. The wins in July get you to October. Tournament baseball is very different from regular season baseball. The team that gets hot or is healthy wins the tournament. The team with roster depth and better construction wins the marathon that is the regular season. Tournament winners are often just hot at the right time or lucky. I don’t think that makes their roster better.
No they wouldn’t.
Divide wins by payroll.
You give most people a top 3 payroll for 25 years theyre gonna have a lot of regular season wins its really not that impressive. What is impressive is how hes managed to fool everyone into thinking hes done well with all the advantages given to him
spot on bro?
Totally agree and guess what we still have Jones Lombard, and the other players that nobody wanted to give up.
Yup, all of the top pitching prospects are staying for now. Some of them are rule 5 eligible so expect the Yankees to be active in the trade market this winter as well
If Cash acquired a SS I’d give him an A for the off-season & in-season moves. He’s pivoted nicely to address nearly all our weaknesses; but he’s too bent on what Volpe should’ve been, instead of what Volpe actually is.
There weren’t a starting caliber SS available. Caballero is a nice backup there and a great speed option off the bench
Perhaps they see something in Caballero’s swing? Warren dominated him at the plate three times and then they traded for him. Plus, he’s pretty sound defensively.
I don’t expect much offensive improvement from Caballero but he’s an asset to the Yankees as is. He can spell Volpe at SS occasionally and play all over. Plus he’s the perfect pinch runner for someone like Stanton
Makes sense, especially now that Peraza has been traded.
I’m honest shocked the Yankees were able to get a lottery ticket and international money for Peraza. He seemed like a clear DFA candidate to me
Maybe now Boone can play Caballero at SS instead of Volpe and running him to the ground.
I know, bro. That’s probably the biggest surprise for me today…
Hey, I’m Cashman’s biggest critic, but he did pretty well with what he had to work with. Would’ve loved another SP, but I’ve been impressed with Warren & Schlittler thus far.
The Dbacks return for Kelly was pretty light so I’m surprised the Yankees weren’t more involved for him. Either the Dbacks didn’t like the Yankees offers or the Yanks were more focused on relievers. I expect them to aggressively seek a trade for a SP in the winter
Boone got a ton of bullpen help and got defenders to help the defense. Cashman did quite good.
Hoyer saved it with the Willi Castro trade, but he should have gotten a starter.
Yeah, man, Castro was high on my list of IF guys. I really like him and think he’s going to do well for you. I am surprised that Houer didn’t acquire anything to bolster the rotation.
Tbh, Castro wasnt really offering much this year. Good player, ajd i like him, but I think the Cab acquisition is honestly better. We still get position versatility with only slightly less offense and blazing speed–that’s the big difference here.
Can’t wait to see the new(er) roster in action. Let’s go Yankees!
Yanks loading that 7/8/9 innings. Good on paper.
Looks like Sabean still a Giant even at NY.
Cashman knows hes not coming back next season, hes cashing in all his chips
You are silly. He is the best GM in baseball and will certainly get a pass no matter what happens because of the Cole injury. How many rosters weather that storm and still compete for a playoff spot. Probably two. NYY and LA Dodgers.
The have two of the largest payrolls in baseball. They can add depth without feeling the pain of a team with half the budget
Adding “depth” to “replace” Cole is not really true. You can’t throw 8 or 9 starters to replace the production of one of the best pitchers in the game. You might be able to cheat a little offensively with a deep bench, but starting pitching doesn’t work that way.
Thank God, somebody else here recognizes how good Cashman really is baseball is a business. First nowadays the man makes ownership boat loads of money, we put a quality product on the field, and somehow manages to keep the Yankees a class act.
looks like someone’s drinking the Kool-Aid, yeah and he has one major advantage most teams don’t have a $300 million payroll. What do you think he would do with the Tampa rays payroll of 40 million a year, that’s what enables him to make some deals not his brilliance. Well, that’s my two cents anyway.
Wow!! Weaver, Williams, Bednar, Doval is pretty sick
Sick meaning Covid SICK!!!
HOLY BULLPEN GAME BATMAN
Boone has all the toys in the bullpen and the defense was shored up. Time to catch the Blue Jays!
Gonna be funny if all these guys crash out in the playoffs
strong deadline by cashman
lets go yankees
Guy is a complete loon. Throws 101, but sometimes comes in sitting 96. Sometimes throws 22 straight sliders. Forgets there’s a pitch clock half the time. Has to be reminded to cover first about 6 times a month
GL w all that
So much potential, so little ability to focus.
Wait do you actually think a pitcher should be throwing their max velo all the time lol. Chapman throws 104 but his average velo is 98.5, meaning he lets some sit at 96. Just what they do man
He can sit 101 and does regularly. Look at his average velo charts
I didnt say that he didnt? I just said even the hardest throwing closing pitcher of our lifetime sometimes lets it sit at 96. Acting like this is some uniquely bad quality is odd. Sure they can dial it to 101, youre not gonna get that every time. Just like how Chapman can dial it to 104 but his average fastball is 98.5
Has to be reminded to cover first about 6 times a month? He’ll fit right in on the Yankees.
And has to be reminded about the pitch clock about six more times a month.
How dare you mock Buster with your username…
giants fans like you took him for granted. the pitch clock sucks. melvin sucks and totally mismanaged him last year. he will dominate the AL. I will miss him dearly. this trade sucks.. holy bag of baseballs batman
Some Giants fans obviously just assume the video game is real life … it’s been sort of amusing to see how fans have changed over the years.
First they want immediate trades, and those trades have to be completely one sided, and then the returns have to be immediate.
Wanted Mets to get him..
Nah. Rogers doesn’t walk guys.
Helsley is way more reliable than Doval.
I like the moves but I think they should have gotten a lefty reliever.
I like the moves too, but I don’t trust Boone to use them appropriately. The more decisions you give the guy the worst things get he’s better when he has no decisions to make or very few.
Joe, you think they may have u locked something with Headrick? He’s been looking pretty good, so perhaps they’re planning on him to take another step forward?
As far as the’pen, Cashman’s making it so even Boone may not be able to screw it up.
Honestly I’d forgotten about Headrick. Good call. Hopefully he does the job.
Don’t sell Boone short. He’ll do whatever it takes to screw things up.
good riddance. Guy was great in 2021. Has never been the same. Let’s see how he handles the pressure of a real big city lol
Trading for devers seems like an immediate bust
Wish him the best. He can be electric, and he’s especially valuable as one of several quality high-leverage guys. When he’s the one and only, it can be a roller coaster.
Be prepared for a lot of opposing stolen bases and pitch clock violations. I have a feeling Yankees fans won’t love those if he’s not pitching in top form
“You whiffed in signing Aaron Judge, how would you like this left handed version of him in exchange for Doval”
*Cashman pushes Spencer Jones through the Giants clubhouse door and runs away before they can object*
Spencer Jones was offered for Paul Skenes, not the fifth-best reliever on our roster.
I wish that had happened instead of the grab bag or fairly unimpressive players.
The superpen is back baby!
Well all watch with interest as your attitude about your bullpen sours over the next two months…
This is the best than you can do???
You seem upset. I hope your day gets better.
He’s just a Yankee hating troll. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Does the Yankees allow bullpen walkup lightshows? ~Asking for a friend
No. Tell your friend.
Inside joke for Giants fan. Youtube when Dovall enters the game
You have to be Mariano Rivera if you want some Enter Sandman walk in music. Plus, doing that in the 6th inning seems a bit premature!
Just Trumpets.
All the Yankees need now is a manager.
I was waiting to see where he went , want to see the return on this
Yay!!!!!!
Sorry, Yankee fan, get ready for a headcase for the ages. He won’t be able to handle NYC. Terrible in high pressure, terrible in low pressure. Pretty much only good with medium pressure.
Giants fans apologize in advance.
that was old camilo, he has been way laid back this year, something flipped in him when he got sent down last year
Ah, there’s no way you’re watching Giants games this season. He’s been the same old Camilo. He’s been super lucky a few times, but check how many 1,2,3 innings he’s had. Early on he was stronger. He padded his stats with his 7th and 8th inning appearances, but if they use him as a closer or in high pressure, good Ol’ Camilo will return.
Almost every reliever is up and down. Doval will be better than average. And give them a heart attack at times. His stuff makes him somewhere between above average and elite.
Who did the Yankees give up?
Did they hold onto Jones, Lombard and Dominguez?
Yes
No SP acquired though which was disappointing
We’re having Gil very soon. I’m sure the information that the general public doesn’t have supports the fact that he’s going to be good to go because if he wasn’t Cashman would’ve brought in someone to fill out the rotation.
It’s going to be a bullpen game for anyone not Fried and Rondon.
Persky, you were spot-on with your Doval comment from our conversation earlier, man!
Giants have basically rolled over and submitted. Love to see it.
I am seriously worried about who they traded to the giants. I will scream if they traded Lombard or jones. Or most anyone of the players on the MLB roster
Jesus Rodriguez, Parks Harbor, Trystan Vrieling
Is this confirmed?
Jack Curry reported it, he did mention there was one more player but I’m guessing it wont be a big name.
I think it’s interesting that of the four players the Yankees gave to the Giants for Doval, only two are even mentioned in the latest system rankings by Fangraphs (Longenhagen). Jesus Rodriguez is ranked the highest at #12 of the Yankee prospects. Vrieling is not even ranked in the top 30 but he is mentioned in the summary as a pitcher who could someday be a “depth starter” . However, he’s 23 years old. The other two, Harber and DeLaRosa, are not referenced at all.
This seems like a pretty weak return for a still young relief pitcher who has been alternating between closer and primary set up guy for the past three years. The fact that Posey waited until the very end of the deadline to pull the trigger tells me he was trying hard to move Doval and even with no excited takers, he made the best deal possible. 🤷♂️
Doval walked a guy last week…Pitch clock violation on a 3-2 count. Catcher Bailey was rolling his hand to get him moving, still didn’t work. Ball 4. Several violations in past. Watch…
For doval? The only name even remotely worth mentioning one of the big prospects was bednar. And even for him, no
I like it. Million dollar arm, hope our pitching lab can help him find consistency
I think Yankee fans are going to hate this guy. I don’t know if there’s a player in the game that looks less interested in baseball than Camilo Doval.
Anthony Rendon.
For someone who averages 68 games per season, 11.1 SO/9, and sports a career 3.29 ERA, I don’t care if he’s reading a book or playing Nintendo Switch on the mound.
Wow, Posey just gave him away. Melvin totally mishandled him last year, that’s for sure. Disliked him from the start. Once brought him in to pitch the ninth with a 10-run lead. An absolute steal for the Yankees.
melvin has got me so mad right now. the fact he’s still there and we just lost a team controlled star.. when you are right, melvin ruined him and he was getting back to elite this year… IDK why posey did this, rentals on the market got better returns. It was nice having a pitcher that threw 100+ .. they do not grow on trees despite being more prevalent in today’s game.
Let a man live. He runs with an ice cool persona. Goes ok at it as well. Respect !
Watching him crumble to the pressure of New York is going to be quite the spectacle
Oh yeah, he’ll be a beauty in pinstripes
Crazy all BP guys, how about some starting pitchers who can pitch 7 innings. So who stays and who goes?? Hamilton?? Hill?? Losainga?? Can’t keep everyone
@MLB – Guessing three of these
Hamilton, De Los Santos or Headrick who have options and can be demoted. Or Brubaker who would have to be DFA.
YES!!
x.com/JackCurryYES/status/1951042233182069176
Seems like a good reliever to me
It seems the yanks have locked up a world championship in spite of not getting JP Sears back
crossing my fingers that the flurry of yankee moves means they don’t think judge will be out for long
Amen, bro. Rumors circulating that Yankees were going to put Belli on the trade block of Judge’s issue was long-term. I really hope he heals fast.
don’t assume anything with this incompetent organization
I’m guessing the Red Sox aren’t in on it because Posey is still pissed off at Breslow
Fernando Cruz – 14.7 SO/9
David Bednar – 12.6
Devin Williams – 11.8
Jake Bird – 10.6
Camillo Doval – 9.6
Luke Weaver – 9.1
Dude, I didn’t realize how impressive Cruz’ K/9 are. When you put him in a list with these guys…. Wow!
hey clipper, we appear to have really beefed up our relief core, which is a plus, but we still have the cartoon character to make decisions about when to use them so it really doesn’t help much unless every single pitcher in our pen is cy young. because it’s the buffoon who has to make the decision about who to use who and when.
furthermore, some of a major competitors in the league, improved themselves, and are now better than us ,such as Houston Astros, who got correa back, Seattle is better than us, Toronto at this point, and Detroit.
we really needed a starter, but Cashman could not pull it off and as usual, he has to win every trade instead of focusing on improving the team regardless he has to win every trade. same MO, same result.
another yankee fleecing
the hell is wrong with other teams? yanks got 2 elite young CL in exchange for no name prospects
Yes we did
ofc, the last time the yankees acquired an elite young CL, it turned out to be devin williams…. aaaand that hasnt gone so well, so we’ll see how bednar + doval do…. but on paper, yanks won the deadline. by a mile.
RPs are simply not worth that much. Im not sure why this comes as a shock to you all every deadline. Theres a reason why the highest paid RP is making 20 million meanwhile a guy like Marcus Stroman is making 18
I wouldn’t have had the bright lights of Yankee Stadium as being the best option for Camilo but good luck to the man. It’s been a fun watch. Really looking forward to watching both him and Rogers dance on the big stage.
classy send off foppert! Good on you.
When do we get tired of Brian Cashman trade in five players to get one with every other GM can do on one-on-one or two on one swap. It seems as though Brian Cashman always gets hosed in any trade. Anytime they see him coming they want more than any other team. When are we going to just try a different general manager who can earn the respect of other GMS and not be taken advantage of at all times. This is just more of the same of his ineptitude. He never gives prospects a chance to compete he just either hands them the job and watches them fail. Any trade that he makes he gives those acquisitions countless times to prove him right. It seems as though as he has a vendetta Against The Scouting Department because he gets rid of all their selections and Thins the minor league affiliates
Big game starter then we all set!
Now that Doval is gone, who closes? Rodriguez or Walker?
They way they’re playing they don’t need a closer.
Verlander could be the closer.
That way they would only have to wake up the old guy once a week.
An underwhelming return for the Giants. Quantity over quality. Don’t see where this trade helps now or in the future.
Yaz got a better return.
Slash, I don’t think any of the guys they picked up are worth much. A veritable plethora of mediocrity.
Compared to what either Farhan or Evans ever brought in at the deadline this is quite a bar.
A very, VERY low bar though.
I’ve been over Doval since ’21. I never trusted him, and he was very good at reinforcing that lack of faith. Pure head case.
Thank God, Doval is a head case.
Fair trade. Quantity but solid quantity.
So much for that Devers trade. Giants packing it in at the deadline….
I’m guessing the thinking with Devers was a little bit more long term.
With all of the relief pitchers netting so many prospects this trade period one would think that signing quality relief pitchers to one year deals during the offseason and trading at the deadline is a smart approach for a small market team (run on sentence).
Example: Aroldis Chapman signed a 1 year deal this offseason with the Sox for $10.75 mil. He is an all star and would’ve definitely netted a haul if he were traded. Sign 3 or 4 quality relief pitchers and trade them all at the deadline (if they aren’t hurt). You could potentially stack your minor leagues with major talent from simple free agent signings.
I mean it is kind of what bad teams do. Using Chapman for example, the Royals signed him to a one year deal with the most obvious desire to wait until the trade deadline to flip him, getting Cole Ragans and another prospect. Why teams arent fully exploiting it though to corner the market i do not get. RP contracts are cheap enough to do so
Best of luck to Doval. But I just remember not knowing which Doval you’d get every time he pitched. Will it be fire baller Doval or can’t find the strike zone Doval. He kept the “Torture” tradition alive with the Giants!
Let’s see what Matt Blake can do with him. He is the best in the biz.
