Yankees Sweep Mets In 2 Game Set, Move To 71-36
The Cole Vs DeGrom clash lived up to expectations with DeGrom tossing 7 innings of 2 run ball and Cole going 6.2 innings deep. Gerrit Cole provided his own run support slapping a 2 run double over 1B Pete Alonso’s head into the OF corner in the 5th. We go on to win 4-1.
In game 2 Trevor Bauer would top Cole’s performance by taking a no hitter into the 7th striking out 9. Unfortunately he just ran out of gas as Cespedes punched a double into the gap with 2 outs to break it up and end Bauer’s night. We win 5-0.
Yankees Extend Trevor Bauer For 1 Year At 17.2M
Bauer has stated in the past that he would go year to year on contracts and this extension will do that a bit early ensuring that the new 1-2 punch of Cole and Bauer will remain intact for next season.
Yankees Acquire RP Trey Wingenter From Padres
In return OF prospect Blake Rutherford will go to the Padres. 24 year old Wingenter was lit up in 2019 over 51 IP in the majors for SD. He’s spent all of this year in the minors. Wingenter has the stuff to dominate out of the bullpen but has severe struggles with control. For SD, they deal from a position of strength with a sharp bullpen and farm system full of promising young arms to add Rutherford in RF, where all they have is Wil Myers in the majors and filler guys in the minors.
Next: We close out July and open August with 4 games at Fenway. Trade deadline is 2 days away.
