He would have been nice in our Bullpen, Yankees To Acquire Scott Effross From Cubs By Steve Adams | August 1, 2022 at 12:05pm CDT 12:05pm: The Yankees have announced the trade. 11:54am: Right-hander Hayden Wesneski is going back to Chicago in the trade, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. 11:41am: The Yankees and Cubs are in agreement on a trade sending right-hander Scott Effross from Chicago to New York, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network (via Twitter). Effross, 28, isn’t a household name but has been outstanding since the Cubs promoted him for his Major League debut in 2021. The sidearming righty has tallied 58 2/3 innings as a big leaguer to date and posted a 2.91 ERA with a 28.8% strikeout rate, a 5.1% walk rate and a 46% ground-ball rate. While Effross throws right-handed, he’s been far more effective against lefties than right-handers to this point in his big league career, which surely held appeal to the Yankees (and to other teams). That’s not to say that he’s ineffective against fellow righties — far from it — but Effross has held lefties to a putrid .160/.250/.253 batting line through 85 plate appearances. Right-handed hitters have had struggles of their own, hitting Effross at a solid .262 clip but posting a meager .287 OBP and just a .369 slugging percentage.

Well well well...

My bad, no problem.

we already have a capable back up.

After an unusual amount of drama leading up to the 2021 Draft's signing deadline, this year's is relatively calm. Last summer, No. 10 overall pick Kumar Rocker failed a post-Draft physical with the Mets, killing a $6 million bonus agreement and leading to a revised offer of $0 that the Vanderbilt right-hander obviously refused. The Orioles were willing to pay Florida outfielder Jud Fabian $3 million if he made it to their No. 41 selection in the second round, but the Red Sox popped him at No. 40 and he declined to sign for less than Baltimore's offer. This year, every pick in the first two rounds signed by Saturday evening, two days before the 5 p.m. ET deadline Monday. The highest-drafted player who appears unlikely to sign is Florida right-hander Brandon Sproat, a third-round pick by the Mets. After struggling earlier in the college season, he allowed a total of seven earned runs in his final six starts while running his fastball up to 99 mph and his slider up to 91. Sproat also was the highest unsigned player in the 2019 Draft, turning down the Rangers as a seventh-rounder from Pace (Fla.) HS. Besides Sproat, two other players have yet to sign in the top 10 rounds: Oklahoma State right-hander/third baseman Nolan McLean (Orioles, third round) and Wichita State second baseman Brock Rodden (Athletics, 10th). https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-mlb-draft-signing-deadline-picks-unsigned

No Im not talkin just Jays......Im talking that every player picked in the ENTIRE MLB( in the first 10 RDs) , are signed but for 3.

Yeah, I think the deadline is Mon at 5PM....They were saying that only 3 guys out of the top 10 rds had not signed

I would do this trade, but I dont think the Tigers would. 2 young LHP's established in the bigs, Soto controllable to 2025 and Skubal to 2026. Skubal being the main piece. if I was the Jays I wouldbe on the phone seeing if you can work something out.

This tweet from yesterday makes me think it couldnt happen to a better team.

Good find!!!
