The Yankees accept this trade to bring on board Albert Abreu as he is someone we had had our eye on in the past an we were finally able to make it happen. As we know in our league SP on the same team worksout real well due to our daily matchups and SP restrictions. We can see a day in the not so far off future where we have Oseil Rodriguez, Trevor Stephan, and now Albert Abreu pitching for us and the real life Yankees rotation at the same time. Gatto is a prospect who still has potential and you never like to give those up but to make the deal happen it was a no brainer for us. Also LAD was looking to move up in draft picks so the swap we made helps them while not changing our pick count so it was easy to negotiate.



Thank you for the swift and easy negotiations LAD....nice doing business with you!

Dodgers accepted this deal. While torn about dealing Abreu, the ability to move up in the upcoming draft and pitching prospect in the Anaheim system and the relatively pitcher friendly park that is Angels Stadium allowed the Dodgers to accomplish their goal of moving further up in each of the first two rounds of the upcoming draft.

Thanks to the NYY GM who pulled the trigger on this one almost as quick as the Dodgers deal with the Nationals. Best of luck to the NYY and their goal in acquiring the Yankees future starting rotation.
