I'm ready to start and contribute to a gofundme for the Yankees to resign Gardner for next season. He currently ranks tied for 16th (2.8) in fWar out of ALL(!) MLB outfielders. I don't expect you understand any of this.
The Rockies broke the news at 12:19 and they posted this at 12:42. Not a terrible turnaround time, especially on a Sunday afternoon. If they rush to get something out ASAP then the comments section is filled by the grammar police.
I respect your feedback giving but wanted to offer the counterpoint that they do pretty well under the circumstances and it is a balancing act. MLBTR doesn't have the resources that those other sites do (I'm assuming)
MLB won't let a stoppage won't happen now that game streaming is widely available worldwide and highly lucrative. Howard's and Miggy's are worst than those two.
Which doesn’t matter really until guys like Freese and Urias needs to be activated. Garlick will be an easy optionable candidate, but I have this feeling Beaty will also be optioned. As good as Beaty has been there aren’t very many ABs for him, and the depth at SS isn’t great in the system. Seems to easier to keep Negrón and recall Beaty when rosters expand.
Supply and demand and basic economics. But it's trending towards less years and higher AAV. Teams know that the back-end years money is a sunk cost for the most part. And elite players are "underpaid" for the first few years.
And that low strike and on the paint has been called all game and was set up with the 1st batter. Theirs pitchers got it too, but they only gripe when at the plate.
I agree that it is. And he should take care of himself as a priority. Life is far more important than baseball for him.
But that doesn't mean that I as a fan shouldn't care about the bullpen situation. His priority is his health, as it should be. As bad as it sounds, my priority as a fan in this situation is the health of the Rockies bullpen. That doesn't mean I want anything bad to happen to him or any player, but someone's personal well being is really just that. For the team and the fan, it really is a matter of next man up. I wish him a speedy recovery.
And condolences on your dad. I lost mine to something similar about 15 years ago.
It seems pretty simple to think the Dodgers will move guys to the 60 day in order to work their way around the roster crunch. White is a candidate, Ruiz is definitely a candidate, and so is Alvarez.
It is not high standards. You can't consider yourself a good team until you prove it. The Braves are limping to the playoffs and there weak overall lineup will be exposed further when they face good teams and better pitchers more consistently.
Now if Swanson and NK come back, my opinion on the offense may change. Until then, they need there 5-8 to hit because today's game is a perfect example of what will happen when Freeman decides to take a week off and Acuna finally exposes himself as a selfish player. Speaking off, I'm glad he did. Young or not, selfishness exudes off of him. Glad many get to see it now.
I have zero hope for the pitching though. When Folty and Teheran are in your rotation, you are not winning a short series.
I believe if another team claims him, that team will have to carry him onto their active roster. If he doesn’t go claimed he will have to be sent back to Toronto.
This could be a life and death situation.
A blood clot went from my dads leg, to his lungs, and he died instantly.
Make sure this is fix, before worry about baseball.
Scott take care, and get well.
Someone please help me out here...
Travis Bergen was a rule 5 draft pick they acquired from the Blue Jays right? Don’t they have to offer him back to the Blue Jays instead of DFAing him? Help me out please!
They just got a warning? That's funny, the last month of them getting tossed should have been warning enough.
I like how the Yankee broadcast team complained about the ump yesterday staring into the dugout. Didn't they complain when the umpire didn't look into the dugout and threw out Gardner? The Yankees basically begged them to watch the dugout with the way they acted after that melt down.
Probably just a jilted Rangers fan with an inferiority complex. I love passionate baseball fans from other teams, but I can't stand trolls and/or braindead fans.
Since Cano was suspended for the commonly prescribed water pill, Lasix, which was prescribed to him by a licensed physician in his native Dominican Republic, and that when Cano returned from suspension he hit like vintage Cano for the half season remaining, I would say none of those seasons were fueled by PED's.
The mistake Cano made was taking a physician prescribed medication without first checking with MLB. There's zero evidence he used PED's at any time in his career.
This season, he found his sweet swing again after making adjustments through the help of the hitting coaching staff. You could visually see it in the mechanics. He was hitting quite well in fact when he tore his hamstring running to first base and should continue next season as long as his mechanics return like it did.
I don't care about being bottom feeders to the overachieving Dodgers. You can't beat them, it is another waste of a year. There is no reason to believe this will change anytime soon.
10 Ks and the bench chirping just got a warning. Down 5-0, somebody’s gonna get tossed today. At least Gardner is not banging on the ceiling telling the upstairs neighbors to be quiet yet...
But your team is probably the second best team in the National League. I mean they aren’t making it pay the Dodgers anyway, but you’re fighting them really. Stop being so pessimistic and enjoy this run and the playoffs. Odds are it will be a decent run
Now I know there is more news to be reported around the league. Yes I know this site is free but the quality has gone way down. Fan side and bleacher report isnt just beating you by minutes reporting they are beating you by hours or you dont report it at all. Now dont get me wrong I like this app, Im just wanting to see the quality brought back up where it should be. I feel every team should be done equally and vigorously. Just my constructive opinion. Once again not complaining just trying to help
Astros are a very good team. Just going through a rough patch right now like they had earlier in the season. Last time they needed to get home to right the ship, lets see if that happens this time? Playing the listless Tigers should help.
If you actually watch the team and not look at their inflated record, you will know why. No pitching in the majors, minors, and we know AA will not make any significant moves to fix it.
Are you a brave fan who is extremely pessimistic or a fan of another team and just a troll? You’re almost as bad as chisoxcity and is other account chitown311
Not sure how you got Cano in there, this season is one of only 3 in his 15 year career where his season WAR is below 3. Posey and McCutchen combined have 13 three or more WAR seasons, only one more than Cano.
Yates. You mean the guy with a 1.10 ERA, 1.09 FIP, leading the league with 34 saves on a team under 500. That Yates. Maybe you are thinking of Shane Greene or someone else?
And who do you think you are? You are such garbage that someone who posts such a simple and harmless post that you still have to unleash your kindergarten personality?
Suarez has way more potential. You have to look past current ERA as they both don't have significant innings. Suarez is better suited for the rotation, but I'm sure will get more adjusted to the swingman role. Biggest thing, by far, Bergen just not flexible. Farhan has said he was going to take advantage of option players to keep pitching fresh, and has done just that. Can't do it with a rule 5 guy.
Ya, just pay any price. Send the Pirates a blank check, right? You dont have any idea what Huntington was asking for do you? They wanted 2 of Lux, May, Ruiz, Smith. In pipelines top 100 those 4 take up spots 10, 35,36 and 51.
Kieboom wouldnt have been enough. It would have taken Garcia and one or two more at that price. I dont blame the Nationals for not pulling the trigger.
Yes. That would include ownership on both sides of Chicago.
The White Sox were brutal under Comiskey family ownership following the 1919 Black Sox scandal. They finally relinquished controlling interest in the team with the sale of the club to Bill Veeck in 1958. Veeck never won a ring in either of his ownership stints with the White Sox but did manage a pennant in 1959 along with some entertaining clubs including the 1977 "South Side Hitmen". The brief Allyn Brother ownership in the 1960's had some exciting "Go-Go" White Sox teams up through 1967 but could never muster a pennant on the South Side of Chicago. The Jerry Reinsdorf era produced 5 AL Division titles and their one World Series championship in 2005.
The Cubs didn't fare too much better under the Wrigley's as majority owners since 1921 but did manage to produce 5 NL pennant winners between 1929-1945. The Tribune Corp. had some success with postseason appearances but never had a team reach the World Series despite twice being one game away. This included the 1984 heartbreak in San Diego when the team needed just one more win after defeating the Padres twice in Wrigley Field of a 5-game NLCS. They repeated this in 2003 in a 7-game NLCS versus the Marlins with the infamous "Bartman" incident in Game 6 and the Alex Gonzalez error in Game 7 in Wrigley Field. The Cubs reached the postseason twice more under Trib ownership but were swept out in the NLDS twice, by the Diamondbacks in 2007 and the Dodgers in 2008. The Ricketts family bought the team in 2009, hired Theo Epstein following the 2011 season and finally secured the Cubs first World Series title since 1908.
Todd Helton's deal wasn't that bad. Neither was Giambi's. Besides the reason those deals are bad at the end is because they are so good in the beginning. If teams start offering shorter deals, agents will start rightfully demanding higher AAV. Either that or we will have another major labor stoppage that will turn fans off of the game completely again. 1994 nearly killed the game for 4 years until McGwire / Sosa, another might kill it for good. And then NOBODY will get paid.
PS - If you were complaining about 1B deals, how could you forget the worst of them all, Ryan Howard.
The list goes on and on and on...
Jesus Montero, Manny Banuelos, Erick Almonte, Brein Taylor, Mason Williams, Slade Heathcott, Robert Refsnyder, Dustin Fowler, Bryan Mitchell.... man, the list goes on and on....
Man he is the only Rockies bullpen guy worth anything. His ERA is over a run and a half better than anyone else and like 3-5 runs better than most other guys. I know they are pretty much out of it, but I'd still like to see the Rox win some games. Either the bullpen is going to have to improve or Colorado is going to have to teach the starters how to pitch complete games. That is if anyone involved in baseball even knows how to do that anymore.
I get the service time argument but I would like to see Madrigal and Robert up in September.
I guess it all depends on if the Sox really are 'all in' in 2020. If they are, I say bring them up now and get them acclimatized to the majors.
If they are only hoping to contend for a WC birth in 2020, then leave them until next April..
However, if the Sox are going to try to open that 'window' next season, then get these guys up now so they are prepared for the beginning of the next season and ready to help them win games immediately. Otherwise those games they lose at the beginning of next year worrying about service time may cost them a play off spot..
Frazier has been above average, loasiga is still young and could be good. Garcia is 20, bird has never been healthy and Sheffield is 23. The delusional fan may just be the haters. Also what about the roster full of home grown kids who already made it.
@pplama: I'm sorry, with a rebuild going on. WHERE is the downside exactly?!
Its different if you are contending, or trying to, and you pull one of these. Heck maybe the guy needs a change of scenery, maybe he needed another voice to get through to him. It costs no prospects so again where is the downside? However, a team who is rebuilding has nothing to lose in picking up a guy. You are seeing it with guys all the time this season (and some of those digging in the bin are contending teams) with the changes to the trade deadline.
Every inning is a stressful inning for cc. Well, every inning he has to walk out to the mound that is.
Hall of Fame? Probably. Now that the bar has been set with Baines going in. Jose cruz should be in too. His numbers are almost the same as baines. But with excellent defense and speed.
No one should be rooting for a guys career to be cut short. Herniated disks or no laughing matter, especially for a guy who plays SS or 3rd.
If anything they may move him to the OF or another position where he may have less impact on his back. In any case, it sucks for SD fans (especially if he is not right again, or it becomes reoccurring), but look what they gave up to get him in the first place, nothing.
As for the White Sox. The Sox made a trade and it did not pan out., I mean Tatis was, what, 17 and nowhere near the prospect he turned out to be when the trade was made. It happens in the league. People need to get over it.

MLB won't let a stoppage won't happen now that game streaming is widely available worldwide and highly lucrative. Howard's and Miggy's are worst than those two.
Gurriel Jr has a shot at being a very good to elite player. Let's hope this injury is just a blip and he can get back on the field soon.
PEDs aren't magic
Which doesn’t matter really until guys like Freese and Urias needs to be activated. Garlick will be an easy optionable candidate, but I have this feeling Beaty will also be optioned.

sorry to hear that. definitely a serious situation with Oberg
Too bad about Negron, if true. He has done a great job filling in.
Jaylin Davis needs a shot. Dude is hitting tanks in AAA and looks like a stud.
Kimbrel sucks, how many saves does he need to blow before you figure it out?
Take your own advice, then go away.
Thanks!
For his position, anything below .800 is pretty pathetic
It seems pretty simple to think the Dodgers will move guys to the 60 day in order to work their way around the roster crunch. White is a candidate, Ruiz is definitely a candidate, and so is Alvarez.
Thanks for the migraine
That's a high level of denial you've found there. Let's not pretend that this wasn't being used as a masking agent.

It will bolster the bullpen. Know we need a closer but with Hill, May and Gonsolin in pen things are improved.
At minimum the dumbest comment in weeks, dark.
We was probably meant as we the fans.
“DuRrR u sAiD wE and Ur noT on ThE teAm?!?!”
You have high standards. Try being a Sox fan. We can at least both say we’ve won a championship
A big 10-4 on the Davis call-up!
This could be a life and death situation.
A blood clot went from my dads leg, to his lungs, and he died instantly.

Agreed
Zero trade value, and trades are over for contending teams as only minor league deals can be swapped now.
Probably just a jilted Rangers fan with an inferiority complex. I love passionate baseball fans from other teams, but I can't stand trolls and/or braindead fans.

Don't feed the trolls, it's pointless. Anyone making that statement clearly doesn't know baseball or just wants to aggravate people (aka a troll).
10 Ks and the bench chirping just got a warning. Down 5-0, somebody’s gonna get tossed today. At least Gardner is not banging on the ceiling telling the upstairs neighbors to be quiet yet...
10 k's in 4 innings. Umpires hate the Yankees. Are any of the called strikes in the strike zone?
But your team is probably the second best team in the National League. I mean they aren’t making it pay the Dodgers anyway, but you’re fighting them really. Stop being so pessimistic and enjoy this run and the playoffs. Odds are it will be a decent run

bigwestbaseball you and Diaz have to much Tequila last night?
If you actually watch the team and not look at their inflated record, you will know why. No pitching in the majors, minors, and we know AA will not make any significant moves to fix it.
Just some fools here.
How many of those seasons for Cano were fueled by PED’s?
Are you a brave fan who is extremely pessimistic or a fan of another team and just a troll? You’re almost as bad as chisoxcity and is other account chitown311
I’m sure it will was a good guy. Probably the see him befor season let’s us out.
Not sure how you got Cano in there, this season is one of only 3 in his 15 year career where his season WAR is below 3. Posey and McCutchen combined have 13 three or more WAR seasons, only one more than Cano.
7 K's in 3 innings... obviously the umps hate the Yankees. Did Gardner get thrown out yet?
2 months into a 3 year contract and you say that? He’s the only 9th inning option for that mess of a bullpen
Yates. You mean the guy with a 1.10 ERA, 1.09 FIP, leading the league with 34 saves on a team under 500. That Yates. Maybe you are thinking of Shane Greene or someone else?
Yanks have admirable depth...
Yankees fans are watching but expecting different results. Insanity
Story of the old regime.
Any word on Josh James?
Astros are not that good.
And who do you think you are? You are such garbage that someone who posts such a simple and harmless post that you still have to unleash your kindergarten personality?
Suarez has way more potential. You have to look past current ERA as they both don't have significant innings.

On one hand, I understand the Giants trying to reload that year, but Bryan Reynolds and Crick were an overpay.
Bullpen has been so poorly managed lately. Guess Hinch got too confident after the 23 run win over the Orioles.
Can't happen soon enough. The Nats need to keep winning to knock the pathetic Braves out of the race already.'
Also when was the last time they tested Turner, Muncy, and Bellinger?
The usual suspects are gonna read this and have homer rage.
Cant wait for that kid to get a shot. Should be soon.
Diabeetus.

Listing his current innings and penchant for giving up that many runs per outing is reality, and creativity wasn’t required mister.
5 strike outs in 2 innings. Umpires hate the yankees.
If Phillies want to compete they need to get rid of some players an Quinn would be one of them
The list goes on and on and on...
Jesus Montero, Manny Banuelos, Erick Almonte, Brein Taylor, Mason Williams, Slade Heathcott, Robert Refsnyder, Dustin Fowler, Bryan Mitchell.... man, the list goes on and on....
What does his career have to do with my post on his current ability?
he has to clear waivers first
Man he is the only Rockies bullpen guy worth anything. His ERA is over a run and a half better than anyone else and like 3-5 runs better than most other guys. I know they are pretty much out of it, but I'd still like to see the Rox win some games. Either the bullpen is going to have to improve or Colorado is going to have to teach the starters how to pitch complete games. That is if anyone involved in baseball even knows how to do that anymore.
Most of the Yankees 25 man roster isn’t homegrown.
At least by OPS+ it is.
I get the service time argument but I would like to see Madrigal and Robert up in September.
I guess it all depends on if the Sox really are 'all in' in 2020. If they are, I say bring them up now and get them acclimatized to the majors.

5-6 Almost a 5 ERA I'm not excited he's back.
One two there four.
Please don't bring back CC go out and grab Corbin or Morton.
Here we are a rest home for the over extended.
Here is another mistake
.105 Vs Clevland
.111 Vs Minn
.238 Vs Houston
.274 Vs Tampa
That's Gardner vs these teams this year. Come the PS you'll be begging they walk away from Brett.
Stayed tuned
The Playoff are going to expose the Yankees SP and Gardner is going to be exposed once again. Hoping for a change in 2020 we'll see
And now back to whining about it again...SMH
Cheo not Cher...
Actually Cher’s 54.4 WAR were much better than Baines’ 38.7. OF partner Cesar Cedeno also had a much better career with over 52 WAR.
Jalyn Davis
Oh get over yourself. A paper cut would keep him out of the lineup weakside.
Frazier has been above average, loasiga is still young and could be good. Garcia is 20, bird has never been healthy and Sheffield is 23. The delusional fan may just be the haters. Also what about the roster full of home grown kids who already made it.
@pplama: I'm sorry, with a rebuild going on. WHERE is the downside exactly?!

You are seeing it with guys all the time this season (and some of those digging in the bin are contending teams) with the changes to the trade deadline.
He needs to talk to wilford bimley
Suarez has the ability to start or be a swingman (if needed) also has options so he wouldn’t get DFA’d
Every inning is a stressful inning for cc. Well, every inning he has to walk out to the mound that is.
Hall of Fame? Probably. Now that the bar has been set with Baines going in. Jose cruz should be in too. His numbers are almost the same as baines. But with excellent defense and speed.
Jake McGee fill-in?
Is 262/352/410 really below MLB average? I can see the slugging a little low in this day and age, but that's some on-base.
don't they have to just offer him back to the jays since he is a rule 5 guy?
Clevenger strikes out the side in the first... gardner is going to rage on for this. Umpires must hate the yankees.
No one should be rooting for a guys career to be cut short. Herniated disks or no laughing matter, especially for a guy who plays SS or 3rd.
If anything they may move him to the OF or another position where he may have less impact on his back. In any case, it sucks for SD fans (especially if he is not right again, or it becomes reoccurring), but look what they gave up to get him in the first place, nothing.

Bryan Reynolds turning into Abiayal Avelino. One last Bobby Evans parting gift.
It's not like he's been injured 3 times in the past 2 years....oh wait, strike that.
They wont, he was willing to take the phantom IL trip so he saved his roster spot
Might not go 4.1 after giving up a 3-run jack to that noted slugger Freeman.
Therein lies a point.Maybe these guys are training too much and their bodies cannot withstand it.
