Yanks Panic, Trade Mckinney For J.a.happ

I’m sorry, the only name I saw in this entire trade was Billy McKinney, and he’s on his way to Toronto. What kind of fool sends a prospect like that away from a rental like J.A. Happ?

Are you kidding me?

Brandon Drury? Buh-Bye. We don’t need him. We didn’t need him when we signed him and we sure as hell don’t need him now.

Billy McKinney? He’s the future folks and he’s a solid future player. And you know what? I hope he goes to Toronto and turns into a superstar because the kid has heart and mad potential. And you know what? I’m pissed about it.

Anyway.  In the process, the Yanks get J.A. Happ to win now. Fine!  We’ll get Mark Feinsand do the honors:

And now we wait. Will J.A. Happ be our savior? Will he help turn the Yankees around? Will he turn into an uncertainty in the rotation? A Jaime Garcia… a Sonny Gray.

Or will he be that Shawn Chacon, Aaron Small wild card-sure thing when we need it most.

We’ll have to see.  One thing I do know is this… Billy McKinney is a major loss in this entire scenario.  We loved McKinney here at BYB.  Don’t worry though… we’ll keep an eye on him for you all.

Welcome to the Bronx, J.A. Happ.  Make it a good one… or else.
