AL East Thread

[Pure Steel]

The New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire infielder Rougned Odor from the Texas Rangers, sources tell ESPN.

Maybe for bench clearing brawls? Has a great right.....

 

[nynasty]

Texas is expected to absorb almost the entirety of the $27 million owed to Rougned Odor, who’s on his way to the Yankees, per sources. He’s due $12 million this year, $12 million next year and a $3 million buyout on a $13 million club option in 2023.


Holy shit is he overpaid. Doesn't play short, so I have no idea where he fits.

Makes no sense, is someone hurt?

He's gonna look weird with no beard

Maybe they're finally ready to cut Wade. Or maybe Wade is going to Texas.

 

[nynasty]

Or maybe they're gonna let Bruce go and move DJ to 1b

Maybe the Yankees are looking for another power hitter that K’s a lot....

Ks like crazy.

Makes Judge look like a contact hitter.

Over the last 4 years, Odor's OPS+ is 4th worst among all MLB regulars.

He has a better chance of getting hit by lightning than getting a walk......

They should make him shave his beard, then release him......

And watch out for the overhand right!

 

[redseat]

That doesn’t make sense though?? Isn’t Voytte due back in just a few weeks?

Should have just signed Brock Holt for the league minimum.

There's got to be a reason for this that we're not seeing at the moment.

Hicks benched. New 3 hitter Brett Gardner.



1. DJ LeMahieu (R) 2B
2. Aaron Judge (R) RF
3. Brett Gardner (L) CF
4. Giancarlo Stanton (R) DH
5. Gleyber Torres (R) SS
6. Clint Frazier (R) LF
7. Jay Bruce (L) 1B
8. Gio Urshela (R) 3B
9. Kyle Higashioka (R) C

Texas's return for Odor is 2 minor league outfielders, 1 in rookie ball, 1 in low A.


Apparently, Wade still has an option left, so he should be Scranton bound before long.

Isn’t Wade’s(limited) appeal that he can play all over the place? Odor can’t do that. It’s possible that Wade is better than Odor right now straight up. The Yankees gave away two prospects and took on additional payroll to accomplish what, exactly?
