July 23: MLB.com's Jon Morosi reports that the Yankees, who have reportedly had their focus set on starting pitching ahead of the July 31 Trade Deadline, have been in touch with the D-backs about left-hander Robbie Ray in recent days.
Ray, 27, has a 3.95 ERA and 31 percent strikeout rate in 22 starts for Arizona this season. In his last outing, against the Orioles at Chase Field on Monday night, he gave up three runs on eight hits while walking one and fanning 10.
Ray was an All-Star back in 2017, his best season so far, when he posted a 2.89 ERA in 28 starts, striking out 33 percent of the batters he faced and finishing seventh in National League Cy Young Award voting.

I'm sure Cashman doesn't get bent out of shape over one game, before that game, Yankee relievers had the lowest ERA in the majors in the month of July. He doesn’t vomit over a single game because he recalls having to clean George’s vomit up about three times a day when he was an intern... “Oh, vomit boy. Come hither”...🤮 “Where is that piss boy”?... |

there are the highly paid bullpen guys on the Yankees and then there are guys like Nestor and Hale....this club owes quite a bit to some of the lower-paid guys on the club this season, both pitchers and position players...

The Yankees and Twins, two American League powers, staged a memorable three-game battle in Minnesota this week. This round went to the Yankees, who took two of three in an offense-driven set that saw the Bombers live up to their name in outscoring the Twins 30-27.
While the Yankees are now a major league-best 66-35, they’re surely not thrilled with the way their somewhat maligned pitching staff performed against the high-powered Twins. Starters C.C. Sabathia, Domingo German and J.A. Happ were among Yankees hurlers who took beatings, which could intensify the club’s efforts to improve its rotation before the July 31 trade deadline. That remains general manager Brian Cashman’s primary focus, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Over the past several weeks, the Yankees have been connected to just about every top starter potentially available — including the Indians’ Trevor Bauer, the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner and the Mets’ Noah Syndergaard and Zack Wheeler.
Bauer is near the top of the Yankees’ wish list, per Hoch, who reports they “would love” to see Cleveland make him available. Indians general manager Mike Chernoff seemingly hasn’t closed the door on a Bauer trade, but parting with him would be an unexpected move from a Tribe team that has overcome a difficult start to climb into playoff position. The Indians are 59-42, two games up on the AL’s No. 1 wild-card spot and just two back of the Twins, thanks in part to Bauer. The 28-year-old has racked up a major league-high 152 1/3 innings of 3.49 ERA/4.19 FIP pitching with 10.58 K/9 against 3.49 BB/9.
Like Bauer, Bumgarner’s perhaps an indispensable piece to a team that has emerged as a playoff hopeful. Bumgarner looked like a surefire trade candidate all season until the red-hot Giants won 17 of 21 in recent weeks. They’re currently 52-51 and three back of a wild card. The future of Bumgarner, a Giants icon, looks much more up in the air as a result. Regardless, it doesn’t seem as if Bumgarner — who has the Yankees on his limited no-trade list — is New York’s preferred choice. “Yankees people are said to be less enthused with” Bumgarner than Bauer, Hoch writes.
Meanwhile, Hoch relays that the belief is the Mets are uninterested in dealing with the crosstown rival Yankees at all, no matter what they might offer for Syndergaard or Wheeler. That would be unfortunate for the Yankees, who may be the team with the most interest in Syndergaard and would reportedly be willing to trade their premier prospect, Deivi Garcia, for him. As a soon-to-be free agent who’s about to return from a multi-week absence stemming from a shoulder injury, Wheeler has far less trade value than Syndergaard. Andy Martino of SNY reported three weeks ago that the Mets were open to sending Wheeler — then healthy — to the Bronx, but that might not be the case after all.
Even if the Yankees don’t end up with Bauer, Bumgarner, Syndergaard or Wheeler, they do seem likely to strengthen their rotation this month. After Minnesota shredded its staff this week, New York’s starters rank a middling to worse 15th in ERA, 16th in fWAR and 21st in FIP. Nobody from the group has produced truly great numbers, either. Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and German have posted low-four ERAs with aligning peripherals, while Sabathia and Happ have performed like back-end options at best.

It’s not a secret that the first-place New York Yankees are looking for starting pitching help. For as good as their offense has been this season, the Yankees have struggled to an extent from the bump. Their current series against the Minnesota Twins has magnified this.
Now, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, New York has indeed had conversations with the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays about All-Star hurler Marcus Stroman.
Of the top-end pitchers on the trade market, Stroman is the most likely to be moved. Toronto is completely out of the playoff race and has decided to go with the youth movement. At 28 years old and with only one more year of team control, Stroman obviously doesn’t fit into those plans.
The All-Star pitched brilliantly in what might have been his final start in Toronto as a member of the Blue Jays Wednesday evening. Stroman gave up just five hits and one run over seven innings against the Cleveland Indians. He’s now pitching to a 2.96 ERA with a WHIP of under 1.30 on the season.
Any move to acquire Stroman would require a massive haul, something the Yankees might not be willing to pay unless they were to acquire a player of Noah Syndergaard’s ilk. READ MORE...

Of course there is no discussion of the Twins need for pitching in spite of their even poorer performance vs. the Yankees. Apparently they have enough pitching to win the World Series, even though the Yankees are 😷 sick...

So.....………..speaking of hypotheticals....if the Mets were willing to trade Syndergard, and demanded Frazier and Deivi Garcia, would you make that trade if you were Cashman?

Depends, would the Mets tossed in SEVEN Bi-Sexual DROP DEAD Beautiful Gals between the ages of 21-28 years old? If so, SORRY Frazier, liked you a lot, but.... |

No. Noah hasn’t stayed healthy long enough, and now is pitching below expectations. I wouldn’t give them Garcia in that deal... To be honest, despite the age difference, I’d rather have De Grom...Might do Garcia even up if De Grom can be extended...I’d want certain short term quality in exchange for the potential quality of Deivi... |
