Yankees dealt big blow

[Troll Daddy]

Michael Pineda needs TJ

[tdawg87]

They paid Victor's mom for the Gold package?

[nando714]

Chance Adams to the Bigs?

Hurts the SP FA market this offseason 

[Dtwncbad]

Nolasco for Judge?

[totdprods]

Angels dealt a big blow here too. He seemed like a very logical fit for Eppler this offseason, coming from the Yankees org, being a younger FA, and having some solid peripherals while flying a little under the FA radar with guys like Arrieta, Darvish, Cueto out there.

This will only raise the price of SPs at the deadline and potentially this offseason in FA too. Angels could be shopping for that at both those times.

Bummer.

[Angel Oracle]

Pineda = Richards, like Richards, he's made it through a whole MLB season but otherwise injuries dotting his career.    Pineda is likely out until ST 2019.

Are you sure he is not an Angel. The team built on Tommy John.

Haha big blow? Not at all

Image if we sign him next year and discover he needs a tjs ....

The Yankees have no obligation to Pineda after this season anyway. Like Richards he missed out on a huge payday.

Potential landing spot for Sonny  He'd better be up for the bright lights of the Big City.

at this point, i just generally assume that any pitcher we sign ever again will need TJ surgery at some point in time.

we should probably throw in valbuena, espinosa, and marte just for good measure.

If they go more than five starts before their arm falls off, it will be a miracle.

33 starts? 200+ IP? ERA under 6? nothing but a bunch of pipe dreams.
