Another trade deadline has passed, and the Yankees stood pat. After making deals for Sonny Gray and Lance Lynn in previous seasons, a reliever pickup or two, and even snagging Terrance Gore in 2019, the Yankees decided that no move was the best move. Like last year, I’m not sure they’ve done all they can to make this team as good as it can be.
There is nothing in baseball I like more than to see a team go for it. Last year, the Astros shook the game by landing Zack Greinke, who pitched so well for them down the stretch, into Game Seven of the World Series, and has been one of the best pitchers in the game in 2020 as well.
