@Ryan192482: “I’ve wanted Randal Grichuk for years. It finally has happened”
@TalkinYanks: “Officially a “he was a Yankee?” guy”
@NotCease: “Very interesting move here. I would assume one of Hays/Pereira are going to miss an extending amount of time, but I’m really not sure. Would guess a corresponding move gets announced within the next 24 hours.”

@Blake2354: “Not mad at it. Can use any help possible in the outfield”
