Gleyber Torres, who's been scratched, was in offer to Yankees. Torres plus for chapman is on table. #cubs #yanks


(They must really have soured on Jorge Mateo.)

Sources: Aroldis Chapman to Cubs looking likelier. Multiple pieces from Cubs, including Gleyber Torres, are agreed upon. Still not done.

I wonder if this helps of hurts a Torres stash?

Seriously, dude?

HELPS!

1) For one thing, he would have a clearer path to the bigs now.
2) He's been traded to the biggest market of all, to the biggest fan base of all. All prospect values flourish 'round those parts.

Jorge Mateo is no slouch...I wouldn't exactly say they are that fat apart.

So Reds trade to Yanks for a bunch of ****. Yanks turn around and get (according to mlb.com) the #24 ranked overall SS who is 19 yrs old + more. GG Walt, GG.

You're correct, neither look very fat.

Mateo has played 2B as well, so one of them will have to move. My money's on him.

But now I think he's more likely to be traded again. I would much prefer he stay in that market, but it's still funny: who was the last major Yankee to POP from prospect status?

When was the last time (if ever) were the Yankees sellers at the trade deadline? I don't recall them trading away roster players for prospects as deadline deals.

I'm soooooo tired but really wanna see if this deal for Torres goes through, already bought two chromes this evening

Torres, McKinney, Warren, and Crawford going to Yanks.

 

[Berkey33]

Reds got Rookie Davis (#11 ranked in Reds terrible farm system) Eric Jagielo (#13 Reds farm) Tony Renda (not ranked) and Caleb Cotham who sucks.
Yanks get Gleyber Torres (#24 in all farms), Billy McKinney (#75 in all farms), Rashad Crawford (not ranked) and Adam Warren.

Good job Walt way to trade a guy when his stock was at the lowest it will ever be for a bunch of crap. When you gonna get fired for sucking? Come on man.

Nice return for Chapman, and this is only the beginning.

 

[Jaypers]

Too high a price for a rental, IMO. Nothing short of a WS title is worth this, whether or not Torres was blocked, and I just don't see them winning it all this year.

 

[death2redemptions]

So the Yankees basically traded a bunch of crappy non top 100 prospects (Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, Tony Renda & Caleb Cotham) for a couple elite top 100 prospects (Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney) + Rashad Crawford, Adam Warren & half a season of Chapman.

Well done New York. Well done...

No argument there. I'd say Torres is their new #1 prospect now, and McKinney somewhere at the back of the top 10.
