Yankees purchase the contract of LHP Ryan Bollinger, option Gallegos

By -

In a somewhat surprising move, the Yankees have purchased the contract of LHP Ryan Bollinger from Double-A to serve as an extra arm in the bullpen after AJ Cole and Gallegos both pitched a lot yesterday following German’s subpar outing.

Bollinger, 27, was drafted in the 47th round in the 2009 draft by the Phillies and has been pitching in Independent ball, Australia, and Germany since 2014. In his first and only season in the Yankees organization the 6’5”, 230-pound southpaw is 3-1 in five starts between Trenton and Scranton and posted a 1.86 ERA. He has accumulated a 0.86 WHIP, 7.0 K/9, and 2.2 BB/9.

This will be his first stint in the majors and is a feel-good story for the Yankees. He won’t likely stick with the big-league team for long with Tommy Kahnle on the mend.

Opinion: The Yankees missed an opportunity to move on from a manager that has not improved enough

  When new leadership comes into any position it takes some time to make it your own and bring your influence to it. In the case of sports and baseball specifically, people generally say that teams take on the personality of their manager. These few ideas are why I sit here very disappointed that the Yankees decided to not only bring back Aaron Boone but did so with a ringing endorsement by Brian Cashman and a 3-4 year commitment. Going back to those ideas, when Aaron Boone was hired as the manager, he was coming in with no experience and taking over a 91-win team that overachieved the previous year. A team with young talent that just pushed the juggernaut (cheating) Houston Astros to the brink in the 2017 ALCS. A team with all those young players that stepped up in the heat of battle well before anyone expected them to. Boone was brought in and expected to build on that and bring a team that had room to go and still got close to a World Series and get them over the hump. Well, its bee

A third baseball team in NY?

The last time New York had three baseball teams was in 1957. Way before the Mets had their fans wearing paper bags over their heads, NY was home to the Giants and Dodgers. There were many battles between the three as at times, the Giants owned the Yankees and the Yankees owned the Dodgers (some say they still do). They have had their share of memorable moments as the Yankees finally took down the mighty Giants in the world series of 1923 after being beaten by them in 1921 and 1922.
