Pinstripe Alley open thread - 8/18/2020

Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well. The Yankees certainly are after pulling off a four-game sweep of their rivals from up north. A real division contender enters town in the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Yankees will have a shot at redeeming themselves after an ugly performance in the Trop against them a week ago. Cooper has a series preview for you on that going up later today.

The rest of our catalog for the day is as follows: Andrés leads off by inspecting Gary Sánchez’s potential recent turnaround, then Dan Kelly continues our trade deadline coverage with a look at how the Detroit Tigers could work as trade partners. Dan Carty wraps things up with our daily This Day in Yankees History, this time centered on a historically long Yankees-Red Sox match.

As always, feel free to use this as an open thread for the day. Stay safe, y’all.

2. More concerning defense, Gleyber Torres or Miguel Andújar?
