Fine with me

Wonder if this means Cease is out
Cease gone?
We didn’t have room for him at this point
Preller unlocked MLB deadline DLC
Cortes can’t be pitching the playoffs. Not a bad depth piece though
Preller got 1 more in him
Good luck Lock! Hope you get some playing time there.
Aj needs to go to rehab for his trade addiction
I think cease stays!
Works for me
Noooo not my speed freak!

We got this demon
At this point, all I can say is “sure” or “okay”
What are we gonna do with Nestor??
Sure, I guess
NASTY NESTOR?! b-lock you will be missed. Last two trades have been head scratchers, unless Preller is accumulating for a bigger trade?
Why the fuck not i guess
Just fod Lockridge? Thats awesome, and we have Bryce to serve a same(doing it better than Lock) role… and hey Cortes is a certified Dodgers hater haha
NASTY NESTOR!!!! I like this one! 😂
Padres traded Enyel De Los Santos for Brandon Lockridge.
Then they traded Lockridge for Nestor Cortes.
So the Yankees gave up Nestor Cortes for 2 weeks of Enyel de los Meatballs.
Good job, Cashman!!
Win…
My wild guess is they want to use Cortes as a LH rental reliever while we’re light on those?
I like it
He’s been great in rehab games
Whole new team tomorrow lmao.
I said this in the other thread but Nestor has all the hallmarks of being a Ruben reclamation experiment. The lack of team control is puzzling, though. I guess for now he’s just depth and we might re-up him (hopefully cheaply, given his fall-off) if there’s something the coaching staff sees and likes.

No way it’s just Lockridge, right?
This is a no-brainer. I like Lockridge but he’s 28 and likely won’t ever hit at the MLB level – Cortes serves as a nice depth piece with some upside.
