Felt terrible for Clint Frazier. I’m a Phillies fan and he’s producing better than our 330 million dollar superstar Bryce Harper this year. What a slap in the face that had to be for him to get the news he’s getting sent down. The move didn’t make a ton of sense.
I saw on article saying this move was just to keep the rays from getting Encarncion
I know this idea of blocking a player from going to a division rival has been around for a long time, but if the rays are trying to do the same and block the yankees, then the price of trading for Encarnacion should go up and balance out since you are risking more of your team's future by giving away a better minor league prospect.
Useless signing IMO. Especially since Stanton and Judge are coming back soon. DH one of those guys and keep Frazier in the OF. They don’t need more power hitters
Guess the Yanks' strategy is going to be outscore the opposition instead of limiting runs. I like the aggressive attitude but it'll probably fall flat in the postseason.
the yanks have acquired Edwin Encarnacion
i dont think he will be pitching so they have chosen to add a big bat to the lineup for now
He is on pace for 40 homers this year.
... Seattle got a Then. Maybe DiPoto has been watching Game of Thrones? Not even a top-20 prospect in the Yankees system, by anyones account.
They sent down Frazier who wason a good streak

They said it was because he still had minor league options and was more of just a roster numbers game
I almost threw up on hearing this. EE is still missed by the fans in Toronto.

That'd be the only way it'd make sense. They need pitching help badly.

Yes and i think maybe Frazier maybe the one there looking to move for pitching
Trade bait. Frazier offense was good but he’s defense is very suspect.
Compared to Encarnacion, he's a Gold Glover.

Encarnacion can be his grandpa. Dude been in league for soo long. He’s still hitting it very well.
Will see see how it works out. So far 0-4.
The Yankees have so may big swingers and they bed guys to be on base and table setters as well and of course solid defense helps
EE won't ever see the field though.
Yankees need some starter help though

Come playoff time the pitching is even more important but they still need help now of they want to make the playoffs
You never know with the way Yankees are falling left and right onto IR.
