Before we get into the headline , let’s take a look at how everyone else has been doing !
Knicks :
4-14, continue to lose , despite THjs brilliance .
Jets :
3-7 , they are a mess.
Nets :
8-10, they are 2-2 since Levert went down with an ankle injury for 2-3 months .
Rangers:
11-8-2, this team continues to amaze everyone every time out , there, after losing 7-5 in their clash against the Islanders, the Broadway Blue Shirts have won two games in a row, and have now leapfrogged the Islanders, and are in second place in the Metro division .
Giants:
Saquon Barkley had 3Tds, as the Giants won their second straight game on Sunday (11/18), over the Bucs in MetLife stadium, 38-35.
NOW FOR THE TRADE:
The New York Yankees have acquired 30 year old pitcher James Paxton from the Seattle Mariners , in exchange for top prospect Justis Sheffield, and 2 others .
My thoughts:
We all knew as we entered the offseason, that pitching was the Yankees top priority, and that they would need to fill 3 slots in the rotation.
Well, after obtaining Cc Sabathia , to fill the back end of the rotation, the Yankees got themselves, a potential 3rd starter in the rotation, behind Tanaka , and Sevvy in James Paxton.
James will be with the Yankees for 3 years , before becoming a free agent.
Paxton looks to be entering his prime soon, so the Yankees can work with him , and really give him a big boost.
Another thing is, Paxton is a lefty ,and that is good for the Yankees considering the fact that they lacked lefty’s in 2018.
Paxton is also know for coming through under pressure, so that’s good for the Bombers!
However, the Yankees do give up their top prospect Justis Sheffield, to go with 2 others.
For me, I understand the deal, the Yankees don’t want to wait for Sheffield to come around , they want to win now !!!’
That’s why they made this trade , nothing against Sheffield, he is a great player with a ton of potential, but their wasn’t really a lot of room for him here , and I think he will blossom in Seattle.
So thanks Sheffield, and best of luck in Seattle!
UP NEXT:
One slot is left in the Yankees rotation, as they will have to choose between Patrick Corbin , and JA Happ, Corbin is most likely to be the way the Bombers go, but we will see!
SHORTSTOP:
Manny Machado looks to be the Yankees emergency acquisition, they have been trying to get other shortstops in trades , but have been unsuccessful, if they can’t get anyone else , they will offer Manny that money!!!!
SONNY GRAY:
Just when it looked like Sonny Gray was being traded to the Reds, that deal has seemingly fell apart , and now the Yankees are in talks with the A’s of a Sonny Gray Trade, the Yankees want to get rid of Gray after a forgettable two years in the Bronx.
11 teams want Gray , who can pitch , just not in NY.
The Yankees look to get this issue over with, by early December.
