In what world was that the correct call? He beat the throw thwre, he was on the base before being tagged. In the spirit of the game he was safe. Not like he got hosed or something.

hmmm Kahnle is an odd addition unless they are getting something nice in return.
he is controlled through 2021 and could easily be part of the new team in 2019 or so.
that being said... sell high.
I could see him being the main person.
and perhaps a decent looking A pitcher that won't be ready until 2021 or so if he even pans out.
either way the yankees aren't likely to have a one sided trade like the diamondbacks.
blocking the red sox from getting them. is this 2003 again?
That's what scares me about this deal. Robertson and Frazier could be salary dumps, but Kahnle's inclusion means we're giving up something nice.
To be fair, all three would be an upgrade over what we have, especially if Frazier is going to play 1b.
Again, we've had this shit called on us multiple times this year sliding into second. Our guys are fast, maybe too fast, and tend to slide off the bag.
You have to KEEP contact with the bag until time is called, or you will be called out.
Not like the Astros needed an extra run to beat us toniht.
I know you aren't high up on frazier though he could return at least an okay AA prospect but robertson isn't just a salary dump as a good reliever has value in this market.
The market is oversaturated with relievers. Last year would have been the best time to trade him.
"In the spirit of the game"? Haha, that's a new one.
perhaps but he still will require a decent return to get.
the white sox might even eat some salary to get a better return as the point right now is to get good players.
it's still chickenshit regardless of who it happens to. Like I said on the last page fielders should hit the runners as hard as they can while tagging them in the hopes to knock them off the bag, if even for a split second. It's like a cop writing you a speeding ticket for doing 61 in 60.
Whats your point?
Have you not heard of spirit of the law vs letter of the law?

I mean, you only slide as hard as you can stay on the bag. In the spirit of the game he fucked up and is out for it.

O's need to sell. HARD. Just acquire a ton of prospects and start over. I'll be happy to wait 5 years for a WS.

Mike Matheny is stupid.
edit: whatever, glad Wacha got the CSGO. Still irresponsible for Matheny to run him out there for close to 120 pitches.

The #Yankees-#WhiteSox deal presumably will become official at the conclusion of the White-Sox-#Dodgers game.
It's pretty amazing that absolutely nothing has leaked yet.

Speculation on twitter is that Mateo would be in the deal. Don't know who else.

FWIW One of the writers for a White Sox prospect site has said that Rutherford is in the deal, but take that with a huge grain of salt even though he had some good info in the past

The #Yankees are sending outfielder Blake Rutherford, their first-round pick in 2016, to the #WhiteSox as part of the deal.
Guess he was right.

If it's a choice of Florial or Rutherford, I'll take Florial. Florial has broken out while Rutherford has a bit struggled this season while being at the same level. I know Law has soured on him a little bit, but I still believe in his upside and he's only 20.
The white sox system is ridiculous.

Nightengale and Sherman both say Blake Rutherford is the centerpiece in the deal

rutherford is #3 and mateo #4 I think I would rather have mateo... but i like super speedy guys lol.
though rutherford seems decently fast himself.
I imagine rutherford over mateo is because rutherford is further away from being ready.

Tyler Clippard going to the White Sox as well. Probably the only team he hasn't played for before.
Interesting that the Sox arewilling to eat his contract.

Ready or not, here he comes.
does he still have that song as his entrance song? i always laugh when i heard it when he came in.
Those rankings are old. Guys like Adams and Wade (Fowler would have as well) will probably leap frog him when BA and MLB pipeline update the Yankees top ten list.
Mateo repeated high A for two months and was bad. BA left him off their top 100 midseason update. He only got promoted to AA because Torres got promoted AAA, but Mateo has been killing it since he got promoted (small sample size)

even if that is it I would say the white sox did better than the tigers
I am expecting one more no name player for the white sox though.

I think the Yankees will have to send one or two lottery ticket kind of guys.
Based on BA's mid season top 100
Torres
Rutherford
Frazier
Adams
Florial
Sheffield
Fowler
There you go. It would have been highway robbery if Mateo was the centerpiece of the deal.
NYYfans is having a meltdown lol

Frazier seems like a sneaky buy-low rental that has a chance of producing real value for the Yankees in the second half
really don't know what is low about him aside from his average. he is getting on base plenty despite the average, has power, and fields a decent third.
he isn't an elite bat but he is far from bad.

Well, yeah, mostly the average. There's a good chance that corrects itself out and he starts doing a lot better. His value is just probably down just a bit because of it.
That and the Tigers setting the rental position player market at a bag of balls
