YANKEES ADD YET ANOTHER LEFTY

It's been the thing that we've been doing all year. Continually add arms to the biggest issue we have this year... the bullpen.  And so, the Yankees have added another arm, and yea, it's a lefty once again. Tim Mayza. With Enyel De Los Santos being dumped, I guess it just makes sense.

SB Nation writes:

"Mayza, 32, has been a reliable middle reliever/setup man since 2017 with the Blue Jays. Consistently running FIPs below 3.00 from 2021-23, Tim had the best season of his career just last year, worth a win and a half, posting a 1.52 ERA and 2.60 FIP in 53.1 innings.... Matt Blake appears to have his work cut out for him with this one:

If you want to be optimistic, Mayza was very good not that long ago (yes, even in the season in which he coughed up No. 61 to Aaron Judge). The Blue Jays didn’t really have any other choice but to designate him for assignment back in June, and you can see that his return to form is all about getting velo back on his fastballs."

And for me it goes back to that "Lightning in a Bottle" mentality that Cashman has. Think about it, all our money is tied up in Juan Soto and so we only really are able to get some spare parts and hope it works out.  

Remember when Clay Holmes came to the Yankees? I wrote THE YANKEES BLEW IT WITH THE CLAY HOLMES TRADE in June 2021 when they acquired him.  He was not impressive then. Now clearly he's had his moments of brilliance, but you guys also ALWAYS rip this guy to shreds when he blows it, which, comes often. And so, you see, I wasn't totally wrong. This was a "Lightning in a Bottle" move by Cashman and it half worked.

The point is, how many of these are we gonna see in our lifetime under the Cashman regime?

Welcome Tim Mayza.  Hope it all works out.
