So the Yankees just traded for a guy who has put up an OPS+ in his first 3000 plate appearances only rivaled by Ty Cobb, Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Fox, and Mike Trout while giving up very few of their top prospects (like, almost none).

Juan Soto, welcome to the Bronx!

A la Trea Turner for the Dodgers. Renting him for 1 year but he's got quite a resume. Boy, the Yanks sure will have a lot of pop in that line-up.

Forgot to mention the addition of Verdugo (Tucson boy) who I have always liked and Grisham who can come in for late inning defense. Nice outfield line-up.

Love seeing Hal finally open up the check book that used to be the Yankees biggest advantage, even if it is just for one year.

Unfortunately Boras probably won’t let him get extended but I’d love for them to lock him up long term.

I am still convinced this is a one year thing before Hal goes back to penny pinching next year, hoping that the results from this year appease fans for awhile.

Cole & Judge are hurt so if anyone needs me I’ll be drowning myself over at the creek.

5-0 is a great start.

5-0 on the road against a perennial rival and last year’s NL World Series representative is just about enough to give a man some hope.

Thank you DBacks for bringing me back down to earth. This is still a fundamentally flawed team.

Chi - I have Judge on my Fantasy team.

Sorry about that…

He came through today. He just needed to hear you apologize.

Yankees are on pace to win like 135 games.

I still don’t see them winning more than 90.

Longtime radio play-by-play man John Sterling has retired due to health reasons.

Personally, I was never a fan. Listening to him and Suzyn Waldman do a game is like listening to George Costanza’s parents argue over paella. But any end of any era is to some degree a sad one. Hope he is able to recover from his health struggles.

Last night was a bad bad loss, stranding multiple runners nearly every inning, and an awful series split at home against the lowly A's travelling across country. Series like this are the difference in a stacked tight division like the AL east.

Aaron Judge is just straight up bad right now. Missing completely hittable pitches.

I wonder if his spring training injury has lingered.

What did I tell you? Players on my Fantasy team mysteriously turn to shit.

I’m a MLB cooler…

For as much shit as I talk about this team (and how weak I truly believe them to be), they keep winning series.

Won another series on the road.

And Judge is fucking BACK.

Hammering the bad teams and splitting with the good ones is a recipe for a 100 win season. White Sox just ran into a buzz saw.

All three are on a heater. Here’s hoping they don’t go cold in the second half.

Put Judge and Stanton in a padded room until mid August as a safety precaution.

If Soto is really hurt, the Yankees only hope is that Jasson Domínguez is ready to go and can come in and do his best Juan Soto impression.

And here I was just starting to get optimistic. Silly Chicat…

Chi - I’m going with my son who is a huge Yankee fan Sunday night. He will be wearing his Yankees gear while I will be sporting Dodger blue.

Awesome

Might be a great pitching matchup!

Yep. Looks like Glasnow vs Gil.

Plunking down $500 for tickets and told my son it’s coming out of his inheritance.

Took the third day off but unfortunately my Yankees treated your Dodgers rudely.

Went to KC and won tonight without starting Judge, Stanton, & Rizzo. I like that a lot. Rizzo especially needs to sit. He’s been awful.

Great time at the Stadium and my son was happy so not a total loss. Lot's of Dodger fans too.

Funniest moment was the fans shouting “We want Soto” when Grisham, his replacement, was at bat. He promptly hit a 3 run homer to basically win the game a moment later.

That feeling when you single-handedly kick the shit out of your former team in their stadium and oh yeah that team just happens to be the Red Sox who traded you because they didn’t like your passion and now you’re a New York Yankee and on the first team to 50 wins…

He went to Sahuaro in Tucson. My son remembers him from Little League All-Stars.
