The Yankees' billion dollar safety net screams 'sell' at deadline

NEW YORK -- Every win feels like a loss. The New York Yankees have won three in a row, moving a game above .500 and a wee bit closer to delusion.

The Yankees should sell, which we have been saying for a month. It is the best plan for the future, so they can really be contenders again, sometime soon.

A 7-1 victory over the Orioles on Tuesday is nice, as Starlin Castro (two-run homer and two-run double), Nathan Eovaldi (5 1/3 innings of one-run ball) and Anthony Swarzak (2 2/3 scoreless innings, including bailing out Eovaldi in the sixth) had good nights, but too many more of these over the next week-plus and the Yankees (47-46) might not do what they need to do.
