Yankees trade for Todd Frazier, Robertson and Kahnle

[BuckFoston]

Yankees are sending Blake Rutherford, Tyler Clippard, Ian Clarkin and Tito Polo.

At first, I really didn't like this trade because I really wanted the Yankees to hold onto Rutherford. But the more I have read and thought about it, Rutherford probably didn't have much of a chance to play in the crowded OF of the Yankees and the Yankees got two more pretty solid arms for their shaky bullpen. Not bad honestly.

Who's going to take Alonso now? C'mon!

[HollywoodLeo]

Screw Alonso. Where was this offense a few years ago?

As a reds fan, who was hoping Alonzo would develop enough that the reds could have gotten a good haul for Votto and used him.... I say, 'He's still developing.'

[Providence A's]

I don't care. I want something for him.

The Padres trading Anthony Rizzo to make room for Alonso because Alonso was thought to be more major league ready and then giving up on Alonso after four disappointing years only to watch him hit his stride in Oakland is the stuff of tragedies. Or comedies, depending on your view.
