"Absolutely sucks" in my perspective, at least, is someone like Winker who has a negative WAR (or close to it) and has zero value to any team at this point...
Bader has already equaled his fWAR (1.4) from last year (when he was worth someone such as Jordan Montgomery) and still crushes lefties and plays elite CF defense. If the Yankees viewed themselves as a contender or had a plethora of outfield depth (they don't), they wouldn't be making this move. In that light, they're not suddenly going to start adding salary, after having just cleared it, by picking up Giolito for the rest of the season for an extra win or two.
