Story is exactly what the Yankees need. A name that they can sell to their fans. Look at every beat writers columns, he's considered the best player available. Yanks have gotten themselves into a bind, selling off means Judge who is very popular in NY. Treading water will be viewed as throwing up a white flag. I would think that being successful is more important to fan happiness than names to sell in the middle of a season. I could buy that rationale in the offseason when they're selling season tickets.

It's not what they do though. All that money, they have 1 ring this millennium. On the other hand, lots of greenbacks in the family coffers.

Then I would still disagree with your comment that Story is who they need. It may be a typical stupid move, but they definitely would be idiots to trade for him.
Like I said, hope it happens.

Their days of building the roster based on headlines are long one; they're one of the most analytics-driven organizations out there now. Their big recent additions are guys like Luke Voit, Gio Urshela, Rougned Odor...

Breaking: Yankees trade two cans of creamed corn to Pirates for one can of green beans.

My hope is that they use these recent unlucky experiences to get away from the analytics and really set their organization backwards. George was a great owner from a baseball fanpoint, but that team only became a dynasty because of his suspension.

And when they put together a team of DHs without much care at all for defense? Frazier, Andujar, Sanchez, Stanton, Odor, Torres and even Jay Bruce are all bad to horrendous and that was their defensive plan.

Between prospects at the trade deadline, the draft signing deadline, and that the Pirates right now have the 4th worst record in baseball, I'm really curious to see what their farm team looks like in the near future. Interesting how MOST....cough cough....teams with top picks in the baseball draft are also slated to have top draft picks after this season.

Thoracic outlet for Strasburg. Bummer. That's a huge bummer for Strasburg. Matt Harvey is the only guy I'm aware of that has had it and it hasn't been great for him.

Thoracic outlet for Strasburg. Bummer. That's awful. Odds are that the pitcher he once was will never be again, which is sad. At least Washington was able to enjoy one World Championship that he was very impactful in bringing to the Nats.

At least Washington was able to enjoy one World Championship that he was very impactful in bringing to the Nats. Wooooff. Based off the previous success of players gettinf that surgery he's got a good chance of being the worst contract in baseball. 35 mil per year over the next 5 years.

Sounded like Strasburg's might be different than some other recent players, per ProFootballDoc (though I wasn't fully following)
