Yanks looking for bullpen help

[butsir01]

He lives in Illinois, not so far from St Louis. You may have the inside track on signing him even if you trade him. The best of both worlds. Doesn't happen often.

Matin costs nothing. You don't trade him

No doubt

Why would we deal our best RP to the friggin Yankees?

If anything, given him a two year extension at the ASB.

Deal them Matz but only if the return is decent.

Matz may bring more than people think in terms of a trade.

He can start or relieve and give you more than an inning when he does.
and of course he's a lefty.

I believe Helsley will be dealt if the team deems to be out of a playoff run. I believe that's the Cardinals position.

My position is to get the best deal for him at the deadline regardless.

I’ve suggested that Matz could bring value but I’ve been shot down.
Definitely need to sell Matz and Helsley

Matz hasn’t been helping his value in June. He has given up multiple hits in 5 of his 7 appearances and has a 7.71 ERA in June and a 5.40 ERA since May 1st. His K/BB ratio in that time is still very good (19-3 since May 1st) though.

Agreed. He's pitched poorly this month. I've never liked his FA signing (injuries) or his stats that much, but I think that, when he's right, he throws some very good-looking pitches circa Met's Wonder Boy. I think teams desperate for pitching (BP or SP), would give up something. We'll see.
