Today was the Major League Baseball trade deadline. The Yankees made a few moves to try to bolster their roster in an attempt to win yet another World Series. The teams biggest need heading into today was bullpen help and that was where the Yankees focused today. Let’s see what they did.

The Yankees acquire Jazz Chisholm Jr.
The New York Yankees have made their first trade heading into the deadline. They acquired OF/2B Jazz Chisholm Jr from the Marlins for 3 minor leaguers, C/1B Agustin Ramirez, INF Jared Serna, INF/OF Abrahan Ramirez. My initial reaction is that I don’t love this trade, but I don’t hate it either. Before I get into the reasons why, I want to point out that I can’t say I have seen Chisholm play a lot so I am going by stats mostly and my opinion of him may change once I get to watch him play day in and day out on the Yankees. With that said, let’s get into it.

It’s that time again. That’s right! It’s time for a brand spanking new edition of my world famous This and That column!! This time we will be digging into a little football, a little baseball, and a little basketball. Sadly, there’s no hockey to talk about. Well, without further ado or gilding the lily, lets jump right in.

Well, another Celtics’ summer league has come to an end. Being their last game, the Celtics sat a lot of their top guys. JD Davison, Neemias Queta, Drew Peterson, Jahmi’us Ramsey, and Jaden Springer all sat this one out. Because of this, I am not going to make this one a true game review but rather I am going to give my overall Summer League impressions of the interesting guys. I am going to preface this by pointing out that when I say I like someone, or that someone looked good, it doesn’t mean I think they are going to be great, or an all star or even a starter in the NBA. You don’t have to be a hall of famer to be a good player. Second thing I want to point out is that the Celtics rotation this season is set. Barring injuries, there is no room for any of these guys to play (Queta the obvious exception as he’s in their rotation with Porzingis out). Some of them, however, may be able to take advantage of an opportunity if one should arise.

The Boston Celtics played their third Summer League game this afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets. To be honest with you this game was not pretty until the last five minutes when both teams decided to play well. I haven’t even mentioned the winner or loser of the first two games because it really, really doesn’t matter but it was nice to see the Summer Celtics bare down in a close game and pull out the win.

The Boston Celtics played their second Summer League game last night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bronny James is on that team in case you missed the play by play guy mention it 10,000 times, even when he was on the bench. Listening to the announcers I am pretty sure he and that Knecht guy were the only two guys in the game. (I so hate watching games without Celtics announcers!) Anywho, lets talk about the guys whom Jared Greenberg wasn’t in love with.

As we head into the All-Star Break (no Yankee Games for 4 days sucks!) it’s time to head on down to the farm and check in on some of the Yankees top prospects. With a little update on the big club heading into the break.

The Boston Celtics played their first Summer League game today against the Miami Heat. This was our first chance to check out the Green Team’s newest draft picks in a Celtics uniform. Before I get into it, remember that Summer League success or failure does not necessarily translate to NBA success or failure. With that said, here are my thoughts…
Continue readingA Celtics Update
There isn’t anything major to talk about with the Boston Celtics this summer. They brought back pretty much the entire team from last season, with the exception of their two rookies, as they look to defend their title and it’s gonna be a while before they sell the team. However, there is a little bit of news to get to so let’s dive into a shamrock update.
Continue readingUpdate From Yankee Land
It has been another fortnight so it’s time to head back down to Yankee Land and see what’s going on with the Bronx Bombers. Well, it hasn’t been good. The free fall continues for the Yanks and things don’t look like they are turning around. If there was ever a team that needed an All-Star break it is this one. Well, let’s get into it.
