A BIG CHANGE FOR LUIS SEVERINO IS COMING!

It's only June and I can't stop thinking about the trade deadline which isn't until August 1st. Why am I so anxious? There's a lot of baseball to plan between now and then. The standings could look completely different, and I hope they do to the Yankees benefit. I'll tell you why I'm so trade deadline focused....

I believe Luis Severino is FINALLY on his last legs. His pitches in pinstripes are slowly coming to an end, I can feel it and I am not the only one. Sure there is more than one way for Severino to come to the end of his time in pinstripes, but even Buster Olney agrees and said so HERE.

In case you do not have an ESPN+ subscription I can break it down to you in simplest terms: Severino is going to be trade bait at the deadline. Olney thinks he could be flipped for some prospects and considering it is Severino and not a top end starter they may not be super sexy prospects but gimme some good outfield depth or up and coming arms and I will embrace it.

I will embrace it just as much as I embrace the idea of ending the Severino saga in the Bronx. His last two start have been disappointing and that comes after more injuries and talking candidly about his disagreement with the Yankees rehab strategy for him. He's just a bunch of drama at this point. All drama, no results and I am ready to just move on.

I think we all know the Severino saga was going to come to an end this winter, but at this point I'd rather save a few months and let him start a new chapter on a different team. Someone will take a chance on him, and maybe a change of scenery will do him some good. I have no ill will with Severino, I am just tired of the mediocrity and the drama that goes with it.

Start the clock. It's been real....it's been fun.....it just hasn't been real fun, Sevy. No hard feelings.
