When it comes to the trade deadline, Alex Bregman and Ryan Pressly are ideal fits for the Yankees — and a lot of other clubs, too.
Yankees fans should be hoping that the Astros keep losing. And not just because they hate that franchise more than all others.
Now, before every Astros fan sees if they have frequent flier miles to come to New York to picket The Post, my gut is that the Astros will not sell, and if they do, multiple teams, not just the Yankees, would be lining up for these and many other Astros. This is meant to underscore what the Yankees need, where they might get it and how many teams defiantly are anti-selling — with Houston being the most interesting case to watch.Yankees must stop Orioles from becoming Astros 2.
For where the Astros are now, though — coming off seven straight ALCS appearances and with an owner fervent about not taking a step backward — an apt comparison would be the 2015 Tigers. Detroit had appeared in the ALCS the four previous years behind the pitching of Scherzer and Verlander . In his heart, Dombrowski did not believe his 2015 Tigers team was a contender. What will Crane-Brown think of their Astros in three weeks?
As one top baseball official for a team unsure what it will do at the deadline joked, “I only have two eyes, and one is on the draft, one is on buying and one is on selling.” There are finite time and finite scouting resources to disperse to more places in a narrower window.
