WTF ???

This is a recent "selfie" of the Yankee outfield situation, including some top, young talent at AAA.

So now we add a 28 year old outfielder who has done nothing?

I understand the salary dump.  I understand sending Chase back home ( although he was a pretty dang good back-up at FB ).  I understand sending Mitchell out, because he just couldn't quite get it done here.  He may be great in a league with at least one automatic out in every line-up.

But we took a guy who is not really anything ( not even young ), and who still be our 16th outfielder on the depth chart.  I mean, why not just do the dump and take no one?  Do you really think the Tigers are losing to give us some great relief pitchers so they can finally get this old bantam hen?

This makes no sense.

I do agree with Duque's observation ( i.e..  prayer and hope ) that he won't be here long.  But I suspect he won't be on another major league team, either.

We are now getting to the part of the winter meeting "wheelings and dealings" where a lot of moves won't make sense, unless they are followed by a lot of other moves.

This is an egg we don't need.
