Right when the Sox are getting back in the race, this happens. The Yankees have cash right now, the Sox don't.
This means Stanton is going to the outfield and Encarnacion is Dhing.

Might have just bought themselves a title if their pitching holds

I'm not even that worried. I wasn't counting on Boston to make a run for the title anyway and the Yankees farm system should get worse depending on what they give up (unless they fleece yet another team) and I'm not sure how much this helps them get past the Astros.

So I'm reading that the MFY got Edwin Encarnacion for pitching prospect Juan Then (who is their 27th ranked prospect according to mlb.com) and about half of the money. Juan Then was originally traded to the Yankees from Seattle for Nick Rumbelow. Sometimes I feel like whoever heads the Yankees should be handling international trade deals.

all the Mariners are getting back is the Yankees 35th (according to fangraphs) prospect and some salary relief. God, what an awful organization and Dipoto should be fired already.

Sometimes I feel like the other teams should have a vote with veto power on trades. Not seriously but still.

That was the best they were getting for a 36+ year old DH. It is what it is and that's exactly what Dipoto said when he made this deal.

The Yankees acquired Edwin Encarnacion. He's been a pain for the Sox in the past. Nuuuuu! I really like Encarnacion's home run trot I don't want him on the Yankees.

I'm trying to figure out where everyone plays when everyone gets back? Maybe someone is hurt worse than said?? RF: Judge CF: Hicks LF: Stanton 3B: LeMahieu SS: Didi 2B: Torres 1B: Voit C: Sanchez DH: Encarnacion Would be my best guess... scary team lol

Their rotation is the only daylight teams have at this moment. Their rotation is reeling, but they may score enough runs to the point where it doesn't matter.

My best bet is that they now try and flip Frazier for a starting pitcher in the next few weeks as there isn't much room for him on their bench once everyone gets healthy

I'm guessing Bumgarner will be a target for the MFYs.

They may still believe he may be a really good player, but they don't trust his offense and defense yet to put a potential title push on the line for that risk of betting on Frazier.

That was the best they were getting for a 36+ year old DH. It is what it is and that's exactly what Dipoto said when he made this deal. is that true though ? How do we even know. there is still 6 weeks left before the end of the deadline, injuries couldnt occur ? Also, isn't he on a one year deal ? Could he get a compensatory pick in next years draft by holding on to him ? It may be a long shot, but his is leading the league in home runs. Dipoto is a wild card GM. Has no idea what he is doing.

Encarnacion is a full-time DH at this point. There's 7 teams in the AL who's competitive. It's really easy to see that Encarnacion wasn't going to fetch much, even if they waited on a package for him.

Sounds like he just wanted to clear salary

Jon Heyman is hearing that Mariner's ownership is looking to clear salary and that Dee Gordon and Mike Leake could be next.

My guess is now that the Yankees have fortified their lineup with Encarnacion that frees Cashman to deal Frazier in a trade for a starting pitcher come the deadline. The Yankees, once they get Judge and Stanton back, should have an absolutely terrifying lineup (when you also consider that this year Sanchez is probably going to smack 40 HRs, Voit is showing last year wasn't a fluke, and Torres is maturing). That's a strong lineup.

I think he has a $20M club option ($5M buyout) for next year, and I don't believe that they can get a pick for him if he's traded during the year. I know that's the way it was when you had to offer arbitration, so I imagine it's the same way with the QO system. Dipoto seems like that guy in every fantasy league that leads the league in transactions but never really gets anywhere. He's the kid in the lunchroom that starts out with a few napkins and tries to trade his way up to a steak sandwich.

Cashman is definitely really good at his job. If the Yankees fail this year, it isn't on him. Cashman isn't done either. He might get a bullpen piece and definitely a rotation arm too. Cashman definitely made a good move by jumping the gun and doing this early in June too. Better to get better early than later.

I just don't see it that way. They took advantage of overpriced reliever market a few years ago to help their farm system. They have had some recent draft successes, but their club is filled with other teams players. They really haven't won sh*t and that is what teams are measured by for me. People always want to give them more credit than they deserve. It is a form of Stockholm syndrome or something
