Yankees get Sonny Gray - and they send 3 Prospects to Oakland, outfielder Dustin Fowler, right-handed pitcher (on the 60 day DL) , James Kaprielian and infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo. Mateo had been one of the Jewels of the Farm system,, but has diminished recently,,, Fowler , I think the best of the Bunch - but hey you gotta give something to get something. Other teams are not in business to make YOUR team better... and thru Cashman's work,, he has built a great Farm system. Oh yea,,, do not forget that the Yanks, got David Robertson, Tommy Kahnle, Todd Frazier, Jamie Garcia and now Sonny Gray in the last few weeks. Good work Brian !! now that puts the pressure on Girardi to deliver - has to at minimum win the AL east.
Gray, 27, went 6-5 with a 3.43 ERA (97.0IP, 84H, 48R/37ER, 30BB, 94K, 8HR) in 16 starts with the Athletics this season. He tossed at least 6.0 innings in 12 of those 16 starts and has allowed 2ER-or-fewer 10 times this season. Over his last six outings (since June 25), he has gone 4-2 with a 1.37 ERA (39.1IP, 6ER), 36K and .164 (23-for-140) opponents' batting average, throwing at least 6.0 innings and allowing no more than 2ER in each of those six starts. You like 32 things out of those stats - 1) the Strike out to Walk ratio... 94 K's to 30 BB.... 3 to 1... and 2) 13 less hits to innings pitched.. Those are good Stats...... and this is not a rental - the Yankees control him for 2017, 18 & 19.... he is Arbitration eligible in those 18, 19 years.
SO we will see,,, thats gives them CC, Tanaka, Severino, Montgomery, Gray, Garcia. 6 pitchers for 5 spots. and the Bullpen of : Chapman, Betances, Robertson, Warren, Green, Kahnle, Shreve - Should be enough arms to win..
