So I read the Orioles got a better return than we did for Herrera. If so, can anyone explain why he was more valuable or worth a better return?

Yankees may have had to pay a premium to get him from a divisional foe. Also, and he may not ever be as good as he was but if so, prime Britton is better than prime Herrera, I think.

Perhaps, I just saw a comparison on Twitter that showed them being pretty similar, with Herrera having a better track record of staying healthy.

Yeah Britton has health concerns. But if they get the 2016 edition Britton(probably unlikely)that's a total game changer.

You're just relentlessly looking for things to pick apart, aren't you?

I think there's probably a fair debate about whether he is better than Herrera this year, but there's no doubt Britton has more name value. He's also left handed and throws a nasty mid 90s bowling ball sinker. He's only two seasons removed from maybe the best season by a reliever, ever. He also has the lowest career ERA of any relief pitcher in baseball history. Most fans of other teams would probably ask you why you think Herrera deserved a significantly better package than Britton.

If you want to see some late night carnage, the Dodgers and Phillies are in the 16th inning. Dodgers are out of pitchers so they just brought in a position player, Kike Hernandez, to pitch. He's never pitched before.

Good work fans

Why didnt we put in Maurer? We ended up winning because he didnt get to close. God damn it, Ned. Maurer is our best hope to tank. Pitch him anytime the game is on the line.

Well, that went about as expected(which as a guy who likes the Dbacks, I'm totally fine with)

Good work CP

Here's the deal Baltimore took guys closer to the majors for Britton and in doing that they benefited from how good the Yankees system is. They get Tate and Rogers as those guys were unlikely to survive 40 man moves after the season since they have much higher thought of guys going to those spots.

It seems like some of the top potential SP available like Happ and Hamels have cooled off as of late. With a strong start tonight I could see Duffy getting some buzz as one of the top arms available.

Duffy’s start will be interesting to watch tonight. There’s some buzz about a trade being worked on. Will have to watch for him getting pulled from the game at an odd time, or possibly scratched right before his start . . . . .

Red Sox traded for Nathan Eovaldi. Come on Yanks, pony up for Duffy so you can keep up.
