Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country.
The Yankees have secured a couple of assets that have the potential to be crucial factors in the AL pennant race.
Adding Luis García Jr. and Heliot Ramos to the lineup adds some fuel to the Yankees’ offense, noting García Jr.’s impressive home run in his Bronx debut, but raises concerns about the available relievers going forward.
During the series opener against the Cardinals on Monday night, Angel Chivilli struggled in the eighth and gave up six earned runs to ultimately hand St. Louis the 13-7 win. He has been solid for the Yankees since coming up to the majors, but nights like this can leave a lasting impact on how the remainder of the season unfolds. Looking ahead, the Yankees must maintain a confident bullpen to tighten the race for the division.
When reviewing the Yankees’ acquisitions at the deadline, what grade would you give the front office? It seems likely that fans felt there was more to be desired, but we encourage you to share your thoughts!
- A (Optimistic with the Yankees’ new additions and have a positive feeling about how they’ll impact the offense)
- B (Hopeful that the acquisitions will give the Yankees offense an extra boost to fuel the playoff push)
- C (Somewhat dissatisfied with what the Yankees failed to execute, including the addition of a new catcher)
- D (Disappointment in how the Yankees approached the deadline, adding new additions to the offense instead of relievers)
- F (Frustrated about the Yankees’ moves and skeptical of their impact for the remainder of the season)
