Pittsburgh — Aaron Boone and Halstrine Brenner provided Joey Gallo with words of encouragement on Wednesday, but the struggling outfielder spanned his year. I know that a slump can lead him to a deal — but he still wants to understand it in Bronx.
"I am aware of that possibility," Garo said, which could be traded before the trading deadline of August 2. "I've been in the league for a while, but I understand that things can change rapidly if I'm not performing. For me, I'm somewhere else. I don't think. I think we have a great team with great chemistry here. We have the best record in baseball, and I imagine myself nowhere else. Not. I want to be here. "
Gallo hit a 426-foot home run and six seats twice on Wednesday night in a16-0 rout at PNC Park's Pirates. Helped his cause on a walk. During the Zoom Call, Steinbrenner said the Yankees hadn't decided on a trading deadline plan and added that he was ready to consider whatever was brought to him. According to Cashman — even if that means giving up top prospects or increasing salaries.
Garo will definitely be a conversation topic.
"Look, he's crushing it."Steinbrenner talked about Garo, who came in at an average of .165 on Wednesday. Major if he had enough plate appearance to qualify. And his .602 OPS would have been worse than all but 10 batters in the majors.
"He is supported by all of us, including his teammates," Steinbrenner said. "It was difficult for him. No doubt. But there are a lot of basketballs this season. I'll take a look. I still expect him to be great."
Before Wednesday In addition, Garo had 38 at-bats in 13 games, 1 to 32 without extra-base hits, 6 walks and 18 strikeouts.
"I think it was a challenge," Boone said. "Because the struggle he had weighed heavily on him."
Asked if Garo's performance as a Yankee was "who he is," Boone said. "I'm not saying that. Talent is too realistic. It didn't go away. He has great skills and work ethic and you don't want to close that door .... This game is this year Defeated him later last year. "
Garo said the team was still successful, but added: The team wins. Baseball has three aspects: runners, defense, and offense, but this year I haven't done one well. I don't want to be the one who keeps this team in check.
Garo was in the left field on Wednesday, but Matt Carpenter made his first start as an outfielder. Carpenter's bat forced Boone to put him in the lineup, even if the infielder and DH didn't have space.
Anthony Rizzo participated in the second straight game with a stiff waist. Boone said first baseman felt an improvement, but the manager added that he didn't expect Reso to play in Boston on Thursday.
Aroldis Chapman threw a scoreless inning for two consecutive nights.
"I just wanted to get him back there," Boone said. "[Tuesday] was a really good outing for him, and we wanted to build on it ... I wasn't throwing it so hard tonight, but I was throwing it wherever I wanted. Hopefully it will gain momentum. "Manny Vanuelos debuts at Pirates on Wednesday after the Yankees have designated him as a mission and then cashed in to Pittsburgh. And was overwhelmed by his old one, a team of five earned runs in one-third innings.
Before the game, Banuelos said it was "difficult" to be specified before it was traded.
"Honestly, I understand the process," said Banuelos, who is out of the minor league options. "With the Yankees, I knew I understood the situation and probably didn't participate in the plan with them."
He also put his career aside by injury. After that, I highly appreciated the fact that I was able to pitch at the Yankee Stadium with the Yankees.
"It was one of my dreams and I realized it," Banuelos said. "I did it the other way, but I did it."
Miguel Castro returned from his father's list and Ryan Weber was appointed.
