Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders
We are back at it with the 2017 Yankees Year 2 again. I had been away the last several weeks with baseball tournaments.
Will be hitting the All-Star Break by this weekend and the Hot Stove is on fire. I look forward to giving a full write up on the blockbuster deals that will be taking place around the league as the phones are ringing off the hook. What is also intense is the A.L. East Race is incredibly tight. The Yankees, Blue Jays, Orioles and Red Sox are all beating each other up. Even the Rays sit under 7 games back.
It will be interesting to see the moves that will be made. I can't see The Orioles moving Manny Machado as they sit 1.5 games back currently. However if things fall apart after the All-Star break a July 31st deal is not out of the question. But if the Orioles are within striking distance....they will have no choice but to stick it out and maybe even make a push for another Starter in the rotation to keep pace.
The Yankees did make their big move acquiring Justin Verlander from the Tigers. Keep in mind this is the Justin Verlander from MLB The Show 17 before his arrival to Houston. His ratings are not as rich as the Verlander in MLB 18. But he is still very solid. However the contract is brutal. It remains to be seen if he will retire after year 2...or stick around for year 3. But he is currently 35 years of age. Also we shall see what regression he has come the off-season. But the Yankees feel great about getting him even though they gave up a very good B prospect and CF Aaron Hicks (Brett Gardner is also slated to become a free agent and is also way up in age, although the Yankees are said to be very interested in retaining the lifetime Yankee).
Stay tuned for a huge update soon!!!
The OP is updated with the details of the Verlander trade.
