Breaking: Green demoted, Sanchez reinstated

By -

Right-hander Chad Green and backup catcher Kyle Higashioka have been optioned to Triple-A. In the corresponding moves, left-hander Stephen Tarpley has been called up and Gary Sanchez has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Jomboy of Talkin’ Yanks was first on the Green demotion and the moves were later confirmed by Yankees PR.

Green getting sent down comes as no surprise after a disastrous start to 2019. After a breakout 2017 campaign that had his ERA sub-2.00, Green followed it up with a solid 2018, but was nowhere near as dominant. In 10 appearances so far this season, Green’s allowed 14 runs across 7.2 innings (16.43 ERA) while striking out seven. His last two outings were the final straw in demoting him, as he’s gotten just one out and allowed five hits and seven runs.

Tarpley returns to the Yanks after being demoted earlier this season. He gave the Yanks nine effective innings late last season and was expected to be the bullpen’s lefty specialist this season. Although he did originally make it, he was sent down after allowing two runs in three innings as well as some breakout performances from Luis Cessa and Domingo German and the return of Tommy Kahnle.

 Sanchez's return comes at the perfect time with an ailing lineup. Sanchez had already racked up six homers in 41 ABs on the season before being placed on the IL.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
