I just felt like we could use a separate thread for all of the trade talk, something outside of a postgame thread.

Arraez to the Phillies. Once the Yankees got Garcia, Arraez obviously wasn’t going to happen, but hey, at least he didn’t get traded to Tampa Bay.
By the way, Freddy Peralta has been awful this season, so I can’t be too worried about him on Tampa Bay.
Last years deadline pickups – well one has been really good the other two are gone. So far the combined WAR for the 3 pickups is (-1.1 for Doval, -0.9 for bird, + 2.1 for Bednar) is about zero (ok it’s a total of +0.1). So unless the guys they gave up amount to
nothing, last years deadline gets a D. Maybe higher because Bednar has been nails when they’ve needed his recently.
And this is the GM we think is going to help the team at this years deadline. Why?
Plus Caballero and McMahon, their starting shortstop and third baseman (and Cabby is arb eligible for three more years)
Is that a good or a bad thing?
“Is that a good or a bad thing?”
Exactly. (Much as I like Caballero.)
“Once the Yankees got Garcia, Arraez obviously wasn’t going to happen”
Why? Garcia’s not going to play 2nd base. He was abysmal there.
They still need a 2B/SS/3B. And a reliever. And they SAID they wanted an outfielder. And a catcher.
Anyway, moot now re: Arraez.
