A TRADE PROPOSAL THAT BRINGS PITCHING TO THE YANKEES...

Because you know... that's what they need right now.


The Yankees’ rotation is a mess—full stop. There's no sugarcoating it. Carlos Carrasco is there, and while I love the guy's story, he's in the rotation. That's all you need to know.  The starting pitching has been inconsistent, unreliable, and flat-out unwatchable at times. It’s not just the rotation either—the entire staff is struggling to keep this team afloat.

With the trade deadline on the horizon, Brian Cashman has no choice: he must address the rotation. Now.

Forget chasing big-name aces with bloated price tags. The smarter move may be targeting a younger, controllable arm with upside. That’s where Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller comes in.

Newsweek’s Zach Pressnell floated a hypothetical deal that could bring Miller to the Bronx:
Yankees get: RHP Bobby Miller
Dodgers get: OF Everson Pereira, LHP Brock Selvidge

On paper, it’s a reasonable swing. Miller, once a top prospect in L.A., has shown flashes of brilliance—posting a 2.79 ERA in 9 2/3 innings this year at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He was once ranked as the Dodgers’ No. 2 overall prospect. The talent is there. The question is: can he handle the Bronx?

We’ve seen this story before. Big market pitchers wilt under the Yankee spotlight. Sonny Gray never found his footing. Devin Williams is struggling. Joey Gallo? His career cratered here. L.A. is a big stage, but New York is a different beast. Would Miller survive the scrutiny, the pressure, the chaos?

Still, this kind of move would make sense. I have always believed that the Yankees have been open to moving Everson Pereira (THE YANKEES ARE DOING THAT THING AGAIN...), and this could be the type of calculated risk they need to make—especially when the current rotation plan includes hoping for miracles from Carrasco and duct tape.

Personally? I’m not holding my breath that this exact deal happens. But it should. Or at least something like it. Because this team needs arms—yesterday. Cashman can’t afford to sit idle while the season slips away. The Yankees need pitching help A.S.A.M.F.P., and it’s time to stop playing it safe.
