What makes something a Hold? I've always been confused. If Josh Fields held the lead for 2 innings, why didn't he get one? The parameters seem mystical. By the info on wiki, he should have one (and by any seemingly normal standard), but the espn box score doesn't show him as receiving one.
Edit: It looks like they just don't have it listed for some reason. MLB.com shows him as getting one.

Yeah that's a fair return
The Mess got a relief pitcher for Jay the Bruce.
"All told, the Mets have acquired five Minor League relievers in the past two weeks: Drew Smith, for Duda; Gerson Bautista, Jamie Callahan and Stephen Nogosek, for Reed; and Ryan, for Bruce. And they may not be done. Outfielder Curtis Granderson and infielder Asdrubal Cabrera, in particular, have drawn interest in recent weeks, and could move before the end of August."

The article suggests the Yankees offered prospects (plural) for Bruce.
I don't understand this trade.

That offer is so bad Arte Moreno would sign it to a $150 million contract.

According to this Sherman article, Yankees agreed to send the Mets two prospects they'd asked for, but wanted the Mets to eat some of Bruce's remaining salary.
I wonder if the two prospects the Yankees offered were also minor league relief pitchers.

I watch it every year. Finally DR has a team in the tournament!!
Duda penned a letter to Mets fans/T7L army.
1) The Mets didn't want to eat the money because they are cheap.
2) The probably didn't want to help the Yanks reach the playoffs.
3) The Mets are really fucking cheap.
Edit - This fucking team, take it away from the Wilpons already MLB:
Ken Rosenthal‏ @Ken_Rosenthal
Sources confirm: #Yankees offered two prospects for Bruce and $1M in salary relief, as @MarcCarig, others said. #Indians took entire $3.7M.
#Mets preferred savings to prospects NYY offered. Also were not eager to finance trade for NYY, whom they face four times from Aug. 14-17.

Apparently there are several fans and management from the Yankees organization that are not too thrilled about this novelty jersey day.
It will be the first time in NY Yankee history that names will be on the back of the jerseys.
Not only that, but it's silly nicknames. So I can kinda see their point that it's a slap in the face of baseball tradition and the end of an era for that organization. Personally to me it seems like a good idea and a fan friendly, modern thing to do. It's not that big of a deal and the game evolves, so traditions sometimes need to be sacrificed.

The Yankees need to pull the stick out of their collective asses. Oh what's next players with facial hair!?!?!
At least they let Gardner grow his porno stache. That's all the facial hair I need.

It's both. At this point Sandy is just doing whatever Jeff wants because he's retiring. And Jeff is gonna take his job.
I guess, but ultimately Wilpon has final say so this will happen to any GM in the foreseeable future...*sigh*
I mean, it's not like Luhnow didn't do ANYTHING, it's just that the deals didn't get done.
They had a trade in principle for Briton that the O's owner nixed, because they're known to be dicks.
They supposedly had a trade for Darvish too, but Texas felt the Dodgers offer was better.
And you gotta remember that adding players at the deadline does not guarantee success.

dodgers were pretty down in the dumps trading for reddick last year

Dodgers are down because their fans are always late.
I don't blame them. Word on the street is that baseball is boring.

Lonzo is just too powerful.
I'm glad Reddick is doing great down in Houston. I was disappointed in his performance for the Dodgers last year.

yanks & mets failed to close deals for lucas duda & jay bruce. they'd also talked about neil walker. maybe the 2 teams can try that 1 again.

As others have said, the Mets had a deal with the Yankees killed on July 31 for Neil Walker because of medicals.

A Mets official on the Bruce to the Yankees talks: "If they would give us something of [bleeping] value, maybe we would make a deal."
Lol
The Howard Terminal option looks the best to me, and it's close to the Jack London Square stuff for food/beer before games.
But there isn't a BART station near there it looks like? Might have to build a spur or just another station?
What could possibly be less than a low A ball relief pitcher?
