ADAM WARREN GONZO

Adam Warren never felt like a permanent Yankee.  Even when he game back after leaving the first time, you just had a hunch that it wouldn't take long and he'd be shipped out again... and he was.  Mainly to make room, but reality will tell you that the Yankees just didn't want him around. An upgrade needed to happen. Whatever... he's gone now.

"Yankees have traded right-hander Adam Warren to the Seattle Mariners for $1.25 million in international signing bonus pool allotment. 

The 30-year-old Warren, often used as a long reliever, was 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 24 appearances this season, interrupted by a stint on the disabled list from April 21 through June 3 caused by a strained back. He has a $3,315,000 salary and is eligible for free agency after the World Series."

There you have it. Hey, who knows.  Maybe one day he comes back. For now, the Yankees really needed an upgrade on pitching and that's why moves like Zach Britton, JA Happ and Lance Lynn happened.  I'd even suggest they were better moves than last year's Jaime Garcia and Sonny Gray.

It's good folks, even though we all liked Warren... it's good.

Now we play ball.
