What kind of package will it take to get Bellinger? With so many buyers, probably more than we can stomach. Could have just signed him over the offseason. 
I swear if we get Grichuk and call it a day...  One problem now is that the Cubs have won five in a row and are only three in the loss column from a final Wild Card spot, which stands at 48. Unless they have a bad weekend, they may start to think, like the Angels, that they have a puncher's chance, which realistically is maybe five percent. Since MLB has gone all NBA/NHL on us by watering down the regular season, there are only four teams in the AL and six in the NL who are more than five losses out of a Wild Card spot. Tigers, White Sox, Royals and A's are the only AL teams with no prospect of getting one of those six post-season tickets. The Mets (!), Nats, Pirates, Cardinals, Padres (!) and Rockies are the only delinquents in the NL, and it's hard to imagine the Padres would throw in the towel just because they've invested so much in the team. Cohen may be cranky enough to start bailing; if he's still throwing chairs he's probably open to drastic measures. Of course the expanded post-season where 40 percent of the teams get in like a participation trophy is one of the main reasons we still see a glimmer of hope the Yankees. Although that glimmer can be really hard to see. |

Getting Grichuk doesn't make sense. He's a righty, his HRs are down even with Coors, and the only reason his numbers look good is because he plays in Coors. |

Second and Third overall prospects for Gioloto??? They did get Lopez too, who should help their pen. They're going for it, but it could be a costly gamble in the long run. |

Let me know what you guys think about this, been pondering it myself. Lately NY media/radio and some baseball fans been talking about cashman and 2016 team where he sold Chapman, Beltran, Miller, McCann etc. The thinking is well Cashman said that year “that team needed to declare itself and it didn’t so we decided to sell,” which was totally understandable and what many here believed, myself included. Man cant believe that was 7 years ago, time flies. Now ppl are saying the same about this year and citing what Cashman in 2016. Here is my issue with that.... It's totally different, for one thing you don’t have a chapman or miller to sell, who went to historically desperate teams in the Cubs and CLE and both made WS that year. This year, the guys you could sell are like German, Bader, Severino, maybe a middle reliever or two, thats not netting you much. anyway and teams are smarter than ever. So here is my idea, how about go and kick-start this fucking team?? Go get a few bats, go get a BP arm. You’re not moving a ton off this roster, and you shouldn’t punt another year of Judge, Cole, Stanton, which is a critical part of this. Those dudes aren't getting any younger and their contracts are massive. Go give it a shot, go get Bellinger, go get a catcher as a backstop if available, maybe a Candelario for 3B, show the roster you’re in it, they haven't done the job but you're gonna get new blood who will and kick-start them while Judge returns this weekend. Idk, I think I am a rational fan, along with many of you here, with the new wild card, you've got to be really down to have a full-on sale nowadays. Now that doesn't mean you can't sell a few pieces, I'd definitely move a few guys to bring in new blood. THe days of buy or sell teams are over. You can do both. Thoughts? You raise an important issue with the very limited time the Yankees have left to take advantage of the Judge-Cole-Stanton (if Stanton even still belongs) prime years. This franchise can no longer wait a few years and hope the young guys get it together, because Judge et al will in all likelihood be going into decline by their mid-30s. We're real close to now or never time if we want to see them in a World Series, so all the more reason to go for broke in the limited sense that we can. Although as I noted earlier the Cubs have won five in a row and are now only three in the loss column from a final Wild Card spot. So getting Bellinger may be dicier than it was even a few days ago. |

I swear if we get Grichuk and call it a day... I’m still thinking Cash will go after Profar. That’s just as bad as Grichuk… maybe worse… I'm confident that Florial could match Profar's production, if given a legit opportunity. |

The trade targets mentioned in this thread, as has been discussed, are not much improvement over what we have with the exception of Bellinger. I can't imagine we would get much back for the likes of Severino, German, Bader, Peralta and the others without throwing prospects in the deal and I would rather see us give those prospects a chance at the major league level. Maybe trade Bader since he will be a free agent next year and I can't imagine him being back with the Yankees.I just don't see the World Series, or anything close to it, for us this year.

Also what is the orioles series going to tell?
Their record against them is 5-5 and they split a series without judge and was close to winning 3 of 4. Most likely outcome here is either win 2 of 3 or lose 2 of 3 which either of those outcomes don't tell anything. I doubt they get swept.
