Yankees lose to Astros as Tyler Wade exits with hip tightness
The Yankees’ six-game winning streak was snapped, and they suffered another minor injury as Tyler Wade went down. After a winning week of spring training games, the Yankees finally saw their winning streak snapped. They headed to West Palm Beach today with a six-game streak in tow, but fell to the Astros by a score of 2-1.

The Yankees shouldn’t hand Gio Gonzalez a spot in the rotation just yet
Gio Gonzalez is a nice addition, but rushing him to the Bronx could be a mistake. With Luis Severino now out until May, the Yankees signed Gio Gonzalez in an attempt to insure their starting rotation. It’s hard to knock a minor-league signing, at the least from the team’s perspective, and this deal is no exception. Gonzalez has been a legitimate rotation option for nearly a decade and is set to make less money than the Yankees paid to Chris Capuano four years ago. There’s virtually no risk in a deal like this. However, the reward might be limited as well. The low upside of this deal...

The Overqualified Sixth and Seventh Relievers [2019 Season Preview]
On paper, the Yankees have a comically deep bullpen with three or four (or five?) relievers who would qualify as the best reliever on a not insignificant number of other teams. Things don’t always play out the way they look on paper, that’s just baseball, but the Yankees have clearly assembled an enviable collection of […] The post The Overqualified Sixth and Seventh Relievers [2019 Season Preview] appeared first on River Avenue Blues.

Spring Training Game Thread: Another Opener

Yankees vs. Astros: Jonathan Holder vs. Wade Miley
The Yankees put their six-game winning streak on the line as they send another opener to the mound. The Yankees are on a roll. Sure, that roll is occurring in spring training, but a roll nonetheless. They entered today’s matchup with the Astros having reeled off six straight exhibition wins. Those wins mean nothing, but it probably feels better than six consecutive losses. It appears the Yankees will continue to fiddle around with openers, today sending out right-handed reliever Jonathan Holder as their first pitcher. Holder has allowed just one run in 8.1 innings this spring, and is...
