They will gamble on Gil. He's due back soon. Maybe Sunday. What pitcher would you go after?

I would go for relievers, and wait until the offseason for Skenes even though I doubt we'll have enough to acquire him.


Bednar from PIT will do? That's in the works.

They can kiss my ass. Jones is going nowhere unless it's a massive return.

Hope it works out. We’ve had some really mentally weak relievers (Holmes, Devin Williams, Leiter) these past few years with talent.

Dump Williams if we can.

Knowing Hal and Cashman, they'll roll the dice on Gil.

So we added cheap bats and We are getting Gil back. Looking to get an all star closer.

2:55 to the deadline.

Looks like the main piece was #8 prospect C Rafael Flores. He has been nice in the minors this season but its fine.


It hasn't been finalized yet. Medical clearance I believe. Would be a good move if it happens.

Yes I never want to see Williams close another game.

It's not a bad deadline. Right now, even being able to replace Peraza in the lineup and push Volpe down, is doing wonders for us...I can't believe we used to have Volpe batting 6th. We had so much trash batting 6, 7, 8, 9...having to carry that for half a season has really cost us our division lead, home field advantage in the playoffs, etc.

I need to give props to the FO for one thing. They got rid of DJLM. That's a hard ass admission to make...that they effed up, but they got rid of him. It's something they do more often (besides not getting themselves into these contract predicaments cause they're so cheap). That's the least they could do. If they eff up a signing cause they're being cheap, accept that it's a sunk cost, get rid of him, and then replace him.

Dang Peraza is gone.

Seems like a solid deal for us. Volpe insurance. I feel like Everson was never gonna get a shot here so not a bad deal.

We added another reliever from SF. I didn't get the name yet. Duval maybe?

Hill is a lefty.

Haven’t seen what they gave up for Doval yet but overall very good deadline for the Yankees. Filled a lot of weak areas and bullpen should be a strength now with a lot of quality depth.
All-Time Draft

PG- Oscar Robertson/Bob Cousy
SG- Earl Monroe/James Harden/Dana Barros
SF- Billy Cunningham/Michael Finley/Chet Walker
PF- Elvin Hayes/Dolph Schayes/Tom Chambers/Danny Manning
C- Walt Bellamy/Neil Johnston/Darryl Dawkins

Return to New York Knicks
