I'd take a Joey Gallo swap right now.  I know Gallo sucks but at least he plays better defense and swings from the left side. 

Sox need to aim higher .

I understand that, but you're swapping what appears to be one bad contract for another.

No updates recently on Bummer or Hendriks?

Seems weird to be cheering for the Yankees to beat the Guardians.

 

Banks ERA down to a respectable 3.27 now.

Joc Pederson must think he's going for mid to late 80's glam rock look but looks more like Star Wars cantina thug.

I just think if you're going to make trades you don't necessarily have to trade Pollack for a LH LF. They do have multiple ways of getting something LH in the OF.

Banks with a nice job last night and today.

Great job by Banks !!

No praise for this Tanner Banks outing?.

Or Tiny for pressing the right button?

Was thinking the same thing.  Maybe you get lucky and Gallo returns to form by getting out of NY.  If not, he’s still probably a better fit for this roster than Pollock since he can actually play RF and should be useful against RHP.

Lunging at first, with a bad hip, is a terrible idea Abreu.

Who do the Yankees have in LF or DH?

Rizzo/Stanton/Judge sometimes...but today it's Miguel Andujar in LF.

Need Kelly not to give up 2-3 since Sox are paying him $750k per appearance.

Yoan is finally starting to look good at the plate

Nice AB Yoan.

Honestly at this point I think the Yankees realize Gallo isn’t going to work out in NY.  I think they’ll look to move him this month.  Whether they’d want Pollock remains to be seen as they might want a more substantial upgrade.

Moncada now up to .189.

Another game with a hit LH and RH by Yoan. Progress !

They definitely are smart enough not to plug Pollock into their RF.

(And I still can't believe they're recalling Jimenez to play next week.)

Abreu .286 BA .830 OPS.

After that April and May, WOW ?

Abreu is a warm weather summer guy.

I'd be fine with that swap and bet on Gallo turning it around, and I'm not sure the Yankees are going to get anything better.

I can’t stress enough how awesome it would be if he can get going.  His ability to get on base is sorely needed.

Gallo is much better defensively than Pollock and like 6 years younger. I'd love to buy low on Gallo because he would check off several different boxes for what this team needs, but I can't see the Yankees going for it unless the Sox add a 2nd piece that's pretty good.

Getting something resembling his 2021 production going forward would be a game changer. People ignore he was 3rd in the AL in OBP last year.

I would love for Kelly to stop walking people after getting 2 outs
