The idea that the Yankees could get both Gray and Yonder Alonso was really exciting (I'm really surprised Alonso is still an A, as I wouldn't count on them being able to re-sign him when he's a free agent at the end of the season). <br /><br />However, I'm not worried about it. Not that I believe Headley will keep this up, but thanks to having so many weapons on offense I don't believe run scoring will be a problem (C Frazier, Sanchez, Judge, Gregorius, and Gardner, even if Castro doesn't return for a while longer).

But all in all, I like the trade to pick up a starter who is no worse than a solid #2 or #3 at an extremely low cost for the next couple of years (which frees up capital for other areas of the roster). But my primary disappointment was not finding a better answer for first base. I know Chase Headley has been killing it since the All-Star Break but I don't trust him . We seem to betting that Greg Bird comes back this year but he's already proven it is best not to pin one's hopes on him. Tyler Austin is not far behind on the unreliability scale. I think we missed out not getting Lucas Duda who showed over the weekend that his bat plays very well at Yankee Stadium or Yonder Alonso.
