DON'T WORRY, WE GOT ADDISON RUSS

The Yankees are stinking up the joint and there are plenty of injury. It's not a good situation in a short season. 

So the Yankees made a trade and added a pitcher.  It's Addison Russ. Will it help? Who the hell knows.

NBC Sports writes:

"The Phillies made a trade Friday, sending right-handed reliever Addison Russ, who pitched last season at Double A, to the Yankees for 32-year-old right-hander David Hale.

From a Phillies perspective ... at least it's something. Russ could one day be a more effective reliever than Hale but the Phillies needed bullpen help today and obviously feel the veteran Hale can help them more now...


Russ was the Phillies' 19th-round pick in 2017. He spent last season at Double A Reading and had a strong year, posting a 2.54 ERA and striking out 81 batters in 56⅔ innings to earn an Eastern League All-Star appearance last summer and an invite to big-league camp earlier this year."

Bottom line, it's sad to see David Hale go, but we need help.  Hope Russ helps! Welcome!
