Win/Win. No. Win/Win/Win?

Yesterday was a good day for the Yankees. Not only did they sweep a doubleheader from the hapless Orioles (yeah, that Buck Showalter can really whip a team into shape, can't he?), not only did they gain a complete half-game on the Red Sox, not only did they score 12 runs in the first inning for the first time in franchise history.

They also didn't trade their entire farm system for Ubaldo Jimenez. Nice work, Brian Cashman!

As previously noted here, a Montero-Banuelos-Nova-Betances deal for anybody short of Felix Hernandez (and maybe even then) would have been absurd. Even though it was suggested late that the Rockies were dropping their demand for one of the Killer Bs and would accept only the other three (how nice of them!), sending all those guys for a man with potential and an ERA over 4 in the National League would have been stupid.

And Cashman was explicit recently in his assurance that the Yankees "won't do anything stupid" at the trade deadline.

If there is no deal in the works, okay. Would have been nice to pick up a good starter, but there isn't a really good one available, and getting a mediocre one is pointless when we're loaded with those. A big bat? Where are you going to play him? You want to send Jorge Posada packing after all these years for a two-month rental on someone in an offense that scored 25 runs in two games yesterday?

If there is a side deal, something that can help the bench (you're a nice guy, Andruw Jones, but you are, let's put this delicately, a little past your prime), that would be good. But personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Montero, Betances and Banuelos in pinstripes.
