Teams know that the New York Yankees are almost desperate for a starting pitcher. They have tried to take advantage of this by asking the Yanks for young star Gleyber Torres. However the Yankees have made it seem that Torres is completely unavailable in any trade talks.
The club knows they have possible trade options with Deivi Garcia, Clint Frazier, and Miguel Andujar. The Bomber’s farm system also has a pack of talent that could be looked at. The Yankees seem that they are willing to trade away Andujar and Clint Frazier for a starting pitcher. Reports say that Garcia seems to be off limits, unless a Noah Syndagaard trade occurs.
General manager Brian Cashman said the club would be willing to trade away Garcia and Frazier however not for a short-term return deal. The Yankees definitely want depth, and they will not want to get rid of such high talent for only a one-year deal.
I believe the best bet would to be trade away Andujar and Frazier. It is clear that Andujar’s offense was not missed this season, credit to surprise-star Gio Urshela and slugger DJ LeMahieu. Clint Frazier also promises a strong bat and youth, where in the Bronx he is buried behind superstar outfield talent.
Everyone knows this starting rotation cannot win games in October. These next few days are the biggest of Brian Cashman’s career. He knows how special this team is and what they are capable of. The pieces just need to be put together.
