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?

Wade can play middle infield, but he's not spectacular at either position, and he can't hit his way out of a paper bag.

If they option Wade, Urshela can spell Gleyber at SS, and Odor can play 3B.

I still haven't see how much of Odor's bill they're paying.

I don’t think Odor has played anywhere other than 2B before? Not sure if he can just slide to 3B without any issues. If that’s the plan, does that mean Andujar is out long-term??

Not paying any of it, apparently:

the only highlight of Odor hitting is him punching a better player

and naturally he's going to have a 120 OPS+ as a Yankee

at least we won, but goddamn extra inning games are going to be annoying.

Yeah as i said last week i was ok with it for last season but in a full 162 season? There's better way around it. Don't do that crap until the 14th inning. Would love to see a stat on how many games per season go to a 15th inning. My guess its around 5-10 at most

I'd honestly rather have ties, especially if the runner rule is for the sake of shortening games.

Love me some Orioles. As well as the 6:30 start times., Wish they'd do it all year long.

They are a pleasure to play against.....other than a nice run a few years ago, they are a pathetic franchise......

Probably be a bit tougher tonight against John Means although this line-up should be tough on LHP

Oof.

George Springer felt tightness in his right quad running bases yesterday after his live BP. When it didn’t abate, he underwent an MRI and #BlueJays are still gathering information, says Charlie Montoyo.

From getting swept by the O's to... sweeping Tampa?
