  1. Verdugo’s hot start is so far behind us and there is not a single use for him on the team – and no situation I wouldn’t prefer to have Grisham or Dominguez in. His defense is overrated and he’s an automatic out at the plate. He’s also not fast and lefties are killing us.

    DJ is also cooked but will be here next year and beyond. Get rid of Dugie and bring the extra righty and hope he finds something.

  2. Curry Concerning news for the Yankees as Nestor Cortes, tonight’s scheduled starter, is getting an MRI on his left elbow. Cortes has been dynamic lately (1 ER in 15 1/3 innings) and loomed as a valuable weapon in the postseason, as a reliever or a starter. #yankees #cortes

    1. I think he could be a very good Ramiro Mendoza bridge guy who could pitch the 5th and 6th or even the 7th, considering how often Gil and Rodon have elevated pitch counts. More Cortes, less Holmes and Leiter.

    2. Presumably Poteet would be even BETTER in that role, though, no? He added a sweeper in the minors. I think he’s going to be a big asset in the playoffs (I’d also love to actually SEE Beeter before the season is over. If they were going to punt on last night’s game, why the fuck wouldn’t they just try Beeter?!).

  3. Current Yankees-to-win-the-World Series prices at Circa Sports in Vegas:

    Yes: +450 (or 9/2, or roughly a 16.2% implied probability once you take out the vig)
    No: -595 (1/5, 83.8%)

    If you have a spare $60k laying around you can make yourself an easy 10k betting that “No.”

  4. Greg Joyce Nestor Cortes will be shut down for 7-10 days, likely get PRP. Unsure what comes after that, but he’s holding out hope for possibly returning at some point in the playoffs.

    Said the ligament is good, but MRIs being sent to Dr. ElAttrache and Dr. Meister for additional opinions.
