Bryan Hoch ‏ @BryanHoch Yankees trade George Kontos to Giants for catcher Chris Stewart. Cervelli sent to Triple-A.




Didn't see this coming....not that it's some big news worthy deal.

Horrible trade. Stewart is not better than Cervelli and Kontos could have been a useful BO option later this year.

I'm not sure Stewart is better than Jose Gil

Why are so many people down on betances?

Why are so many people down on betances?

The usual reasons - he's relatively famous and is a millionaire. That's all that matters to a certain type of girl.

[Jax Teller]

Bazinga!

Actually, Betances has looked good this spring.

The season opens today for SWB so those that have MiLB.com will probably see for themselves sometime this weekend.

Why is Gary Sanchez repeating Charleston?

Does it really matter, you're not going to like nor accept any answer to that question?

What? How do you know what I am or not going to accept...

Just wondering. Geez. smh

[Jax Teller]

I read that as a legit question as to why Sanchez was repeating Charleston, not as an up & arms "wtf are the yankees doing?" type.

[Jax Teller]

Mason Williams with a lead-off triple.

[Jax Teller]

5IP 4H 2R 1ER 2BB 9K (& a pickoff) for Turley so far

Murphy 1-2, RBI

[philleotardo]

Scranton's lineup is brutal

[GrouchoNYY]

Mason Williams with a lead-off triple.

Game postponed. Williams' triple brought lightning bolts. He won't be able to claim that triple until sometime in May.

[philleotardo]

Campos goes tonight

[Jax Teller]

Scranton- Betances
Trenton- Stoneburner
Tampa- TBD
Charleston - Campos

[Snatch Catch]

Campos' start is the more anticipated/exciting for me than the one CC is starting right now.
