Arizona Diamondbacks/New York Yankees

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a quick offer the D-Backs and Yankees have agreed to the following deal...


Yankees get:

   Bryce Denton, 3B, Cardinals - 2018/0.6M - prospect


D-Backs get:
   Giovanny Urshela, 3B, Indians - 2018/1M TC2 - in minors


This was basically a handcuff trade for the D-Backs. Denton was a nice prospect we hated to lose, but needed a certain kind of depth that Urshela provides. If Yandy starts in Cleveland (which he will eventually) Urshela would be the next up should he falter.

Thanks to the Yankees ownership for their willingness to make the deal!

Yankees accept this trade on the basis that we don't see Urshela in our every day line up, plus it makes us a little younger and dumps a little salary. Also Denton could pan out to be a nice addition in the future.
