A year or so ago, I would have thought Judge would be a Yankee till the day he retired.

Now, I have no idea.

I’m not sure how excited you would be about giving him 5+ years given his injury history(and his age).

Should pay him game by game.....should cut him a check after every 9 innings played......

Right. They've already got one injury prone goliath under contract forever.

If they continue to plummet in the standings, it will be very interesting to see who's labeled as expendable come July 31st

They could probably flip Chapman for top prospects(again). Britton would probably bring some decent guys back, too(if he’s healthy). Who else are you thinking?

Just what you need is Stanton and Judge both making $30m+ and both day-to-day for 5 years(although Judge has really been impressive this year).

Judge

Acquiring team would get 1 1/2 years of control before he hits FA, he would bring back a nice prospect package I think.

Frazier could go too, although they've allowed him to get exposed, so they won't get near what they would have last winter. But still very young and the bat speed is still there, even if he's a moron.

Makes sense on Judge. That might be a tough sell with the fans, though. I do think you’d get a nice return given the way he’s played this year. They would be selling high. Not really the case on Frazier, though. Hard to be encouraged by him at all.

One of the Yankee fans I read on twitter said, "they'll never trade Judge, they built the Judge's Chambers in RF!"

Like tearing that shit down wouldn't be a tiny bit cheaper than guaranteeing him $200M or so.

LOL

Glasnow going for an MRI on his elbow.

Glasnow’s MRI revealed a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament, as well as a flexor strain in his forearm.

OUCH!

Sanchez continues his rise from the dead. .861 OPS over the last month. And some atypical clutch hits to boot.

That stadium in Buffalo is not a MLB park, however. They went over all the upgrades they did since last year, but I dunno, still looks dark as shit to me.

I was expecting Scott Norwood to come into the ninth and be wide right.....a much needed win......

Chapman about to waste Cole's dominant start....

Somehow got out of 2nd and 3rd no outs in a 1 run game

Very lucky and a terrible play by Chapman lobbing that lawn dart home......he has to run Vladdy back to 3rd and then throw it to Gio.....I thought he got his hand in, very close.....

Holy shit Arroyo! Grand slam!

Cedric Mullins is quietly having a fantastic season.
