YANKS ACQUIRE McCUTCHEN... BUT NOT "OFFICIALLY" TONIGHT

Remember that time we put that item up about how it would be cool if the Yankees could somehow snag Andrew McCutchen and all these moron fans told me I'm an idiot and "How many people actually read this BYB garbage anyway?"  Well...

We may very, very, very soon have Andrew McCutchen... interesting.

The baseball insiders are all over it, but I like this tweet because Bob Nightengale does the right thing and gives props to the ones that broke it first. I like that. I do caution, neither team has called this a done deal yet:

The #Yankees acquire #SFGiants OF Andrew McCutchen per @Buster_ESPN. The Giants get 2 prospects per @Joelsherman1

That was followed by this tweet by me:

Yanks got McCutchen? Looks that way. Now I feel bad for Shane Robinson 😀

— Robert Casey (@BleednYankeeBlu) August 31, 2018

And then of course some dude told me to not feel bad for Robinson but instead Brett Gardner to which I responded...

well, if you follow me you know I've been giving Robinson a Hard time.

And that's all I have on this other than the tell you that Nightengale just put this out just to keep us on our toes:

The #Yankees and #SFGiants say they have not finalized the McCutchen trade at this moment, and don’t anticipate an announcement tonight. But obviously deep in talks.

— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) August 31, 2018

There will be no McCutchen deal tonight the two sides caution, at least not officially

Oh... and if you wanted a rehash on how we may have nailed the McCutchen prediction and we're acting like the "called it" guy... here you go.

THAT ANDREW MCCUTCHEN RUMOR...

October, 2016.  I like this line: "I have a hunch that this is going to happen. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so."

Welcome to the Bronx, Andrew McCutchen...maybe.
