It is over, my friends.

It is over.

The 2025 Yankees championship dream ended today.

The Yankees weren't winning with Aaron Judge in the lineup. They certainly will not win without him.

It is time for the Yankees to be sellers at the trade deadline. It would be ridiculous to make big trades that impact the future to chase what was once a deam and is now a nightmare.

***

Making this worse is that Judge was injured in the previous series, and the Yankees played him anyway.

How many more times will the Yankees have to do the wrong thing with injured players before there is some accountablity?

we had 2 guys combining for .968 OPS 73 OPS+ at 3b

now we have Rosario with .736 OPS and 109 OPS+

and McMahon with .717 OPS and 92 OPS+

that seems like it should be at lease a bit of an improvement. i wonder did they try to send Peraza in either trade? they have no spot for him now unless they put Rosario in Judges spot. they have to try to trade Peraza for something, I guess if they designate him they can work out a trade with a team that claims him

he has to be worth a lottery ticket from the short season leagues? no? there must be some team that would want a GG leve…

when I said Paul, I meant the warrior, not our SSTN captain

Amed Rosario, an infielder on an expiring contract and, generally, a replacement-level player

an intriguing addition, one with several possible implications.

Yankees finally acquire Ahmed Rosario for Beeter and a minor league OF. Is this the end for

Peraza?

Or send him to AAA.

My bet is they bring up Brian de la Cruz, and have Jesus Rodriguez get some LF time in AAA.

Malpractice again. If Judge was injured didn't the manager know about it? Why wasn't the alleged medical staff informed? This is a firing offense in my book. Would love to have heard Boone's explanation for this. More platitudes. I think I want to puke.

you think that they are able to fire Judge for not believing that he was inured rather than merely hurt?

Spencer Jones is not in the RailRiders lineup tonight. Pereira is in CF. Does this mean he is on his way to the Bronx for tomorrow's game? Since the news leaked out about Judge 2 hours before the RailRiders scheduled first pitch, more than enough time to start getting him from Rochester to the Bronx, even if they have to stop off in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area first to pick up his stuff.

He's had neck and back issues last year. Had a lat issue earlier this year.
