The Yanks took 2 out of 3 from Tampa this weekend and are back in first place! Not bad despite having 17 different players on the DL at one point in time this season.

Have to admire the way the yanks are swinging the bats. Playing their hearts out.

Absolutely! 17 games above .500. 2 games up on Tampa, 6 1/2 up on Boston (and only a game behind Minnesota for the best record in the AL). You've gotta respect the way they've played after all of those injuries!

Yanks playin Well’

Wish we got the win last night but made up for it today. Need to keep this going.

I'm hopeful they can. Glad to see Paxton pitched well today. I'll take 2 out of 3 against the Padres. ESPN New York said Paxton has pitched 26 2/3 innings at Yankee Stadium in 2019 with 0.34 ERA heading in to today!

I saw that. As long as he stays healthy he’s an ace. And if severino comes back and returns to form then we could have the best rotation that we’ve had in a long time.

Exactly. Severino would be the equivalent of a trade deadline acquisition. Plus, since he hasn't pitched this year, he'll be fresh and shouldn't gas himself out like he did last year! The Yankees just need to keep up the pace until then. Also heard Didi could be back in as little as 1 to 2 weeks. Another great addition to the lineup and a lefty with some power.

Will the yanks get kuechel?

Mets need to repair the bullpen

I'm not sure. I heard on SportsCenter this morning that Keuchel would settle for a one year deal. If that's the case, I'd love to see the Yankees get him. But I can also easily see someone offering him more than a one year deal and him taking it.

2 straight losses to the jays. Bullpen blew the game last night. But these are games they need to win.

Kimbrel is off the market. 3 years 43 million with a 4th year option to the Cubs.

I do not trust Kimbrel at this stage of his career but if you need a reliever he’s a solid pickup

As a long time Cubs fan, I was excited that they got Kimbrel. And not for the ridiculous 6 year/100 mill they were asking. I knew Theo wasn't going to let a Boston guy go to the competition after the time elapsed where they dind't also have to give up a Draft pic.

Kimbrel's off the board. Now where does Keuchel land? I'm hearing the Yankees and Braves are the 2 leading candidates.

Braves got him

Yanks could’ve used him. Don’t know why they wouldn’t go a little higher for a one year contract.

Probably due to the luxury tax bill is my guess.

And now the Yankees have put 9 game winner (tied for the league lead in that category) Domingo Herman on the DL.

Yankees have a homestand from June 17-26 and Boone said Stanton and Judge might rejoin the team during that time. Despite all their injuries, still proud that they're 16 games above .500 and tied with Tampa for first in the division (and up 8 on Boston).

There’s very little quit in this lineup that they are throwing out there. We can only hope that it stays that way when our starters return. Hicks has been pretty good the last few games but needs to get going still.

Honestly the way these guys have been playing who are filling in, I'm nervous/afraid to take them out. I'd hate for someone to come back and not be able to contribute the way these guys are.

Stanton's back tonight for the Yankees and over the weekend they trade for Edwin Encarnacion (who's leading the league in homers right now). Rumor is we'll have Judge back too before the end of the month! Glad we're getting back our sluggers.

I am extremely happy that Stanton is back. Not so great tonight but once he conforms to the lineup then watch out. Encarnacion does not strike out a lot either which I like. Leaves me wondering if Frazier will be traded. I think the kid can hit and I wouldn’t mind keeping him. But if it’s between him and a starter who can really help is tremendously then I’d have to be ok with it.

I've always said, I'd love to hold on to Frazier. Maybe when Gardner retires, he can be our fourth outfielder. The kid can hit. Would just hate to give up on him.

Great sweep of the Rays! Now bring on the Astros!!

Hal has dropped hints that he might be willing to go over the luxury tax if it puts us over the top as a team. I’ve heard that before with no moves but he could have something up his sleeve.

They're getting close. The Encarnacion deal puts them close to it but he came so cheap, they couldn't pass on him. Judge is expected back tomorrow as well! Can't wait to see these guys all healthy tearing up opposing pitchers. Hopefully they can start this weekend with Houston!

They took the first from Houston. 3 more to go! Encarnacion hits his second homer as a Yankee. Looks like he's getting more comfortable in pinstripes!

Hicks hurt again!

Hopefully they bring Frazier back then!
