Hmm, it occurs to me that I didn't include Trout on that MVP poll.  His injury absence probably ruins his chance, which is too bad considering he looked like a stone-cold lock before he got hurt

If the yankees are legitimately out of it by all star break will they be sellers

Sure.  They weren't afraid to sell when they were "out of it" in 2016, though even that Yankees team was still pretty decent.

And frankly, I think it's way too early to assume this team can't get it together.

Seems the Braves continue to hold onto prospects way too long and their value diminishes. My question is when will the Braves realize this and deal some of them for the holes they have on their roster? Can’t keep these prospects forever

The perception (or maybe AA actually even said this at some point, I don't recall) was that the Braves were wary of moving prospects since their international spending was restricted.  So without a full int'l pipeline, they didn't want to detract too heavily from the minor league system.

Now, I believe the int'l signing restrictions have elapsed, so this theoretically shouldn't be an issue.  But it also could be that Anthopoulos is perhaps a little more gun-shy about moving prospects with the Braves than he was in Toronto, since some of those moves with the Jays backfired.

That's it for me today, thanks for all the questions!
