In the previous blog post, I was dreaming about a possible addition of Giancarlo Stanton to the lineup of the New York Yankees.

By trading away their most valuable assets, the Yankees have officially given up on the season. Until the trade deadline the situation wasn’t quite as hopeless as many thought it would be.

This moring I read an article of the New York Post about the Yankees and their new policy regarding trading for players. Now the Yankees have lost six in a row, many fans hit the panic button and shout for Cashman’s release. The New York Post on the other hand has a different opinion. Of…
The Yankees have placed starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka on the 15-day Disabled List with a tight wrist.
