    Daniel Murphy didn’t make it to the Yankees on the revocable Trade waiver wire. Expected, but still sucks. Would have been a great addition.

      He's gonna go off for the cubs. Already is. Would have been awesome to have him for the playoffs. That man is clutch. And likely would have become a Yankee postseason hero.

          Bird keeps sinking into the abyss. When is it enough already? Send him down and bring someone else up already.

            Like I've said before, I truly believe Tyler Austin is a better player than Bird. It's just about that time where we need to seriously consider this. Bird has had many many chances.

              Who would you pull up to replace him? I think Austin probably deserved a longer look, but obviously he isn’t an option anymore.

                The Yankees just need to hit the market for a 1b next year. They all can't develop. Bird's clock is about up. Nobody in the system is very special. Tyler Austin wasn't the answer either.

                Either that. Or give Andujar some reps over there. If the Yankees are going after Machado.

                  Boston seems to be hitting a tough stretch finally. About to be swept by Tampa. At least they can’t beat Tampa now either. With Severino going tonight hopefully it can be down to 6 after tonight. Yankees have 6 easy games lined up vs the White Sox and Tigers, all at home.

                  Things could get interesting.

                    Yanks control their own destiny. It was a matter of time before regression started to hit Boston. Eovaldi looking like Yankees Eovaldi.

                      They need to bring up literally anyone who is capable of playing first base a little bit so they can rest Voit when needed and send Bird down and let him try to work things out at AAA. Just let Voit be the everyday 1B.

                        I don't know the answer either. Bird is clearly going to get a chance because he's their only viable vsRHP 1B.

                        But I agree with DamnYanks that they should focus on a replacement in the off season. The Yankees may be hesitant because they believe in Bird but sometimes players just don't reach their potential.

                        I know Bird is young and has had injuries but his slumps are devastating. When he's on he's one of the best players in baseball but it's for a couple weeks and it's sandwiched around brutal brutal play for what feels like twice the weeks on both ends.

                        I haven't thought about who is available in free agency but maybe a veteran or cheap bat to at least compete.

                          I think Bird lost too much development time through his injury plagued seasons. He could still figure it out. But the question is. Is it worth it to keep waiting? I personally don't think Bird is ever going to be a star. So my answer would be No.

                            Wasted an opportunity to gain a little more ground on Boston since they didn’t play today, instead lost ground. Can’t afford to be wasting any games of this easy stretch of the schedule.

                              Man, I'm sick and tired of Bird.

                                Donaldson to the Yankees, then Donaldson Or Andujar to 1B?
