Yankees send Lucas giolito Kyle Freeland brayan altuve and pick 5.8 For Ivan Herrera Garrett Crochet
Yankees accept this trade. Im going to lose both guys next season, I dont like the free agents available for the bloated contracts they will need to be signed to. With that I took a long hard look at the top 500 prospects for dynasty and compiled a list of guys to contend more regularly from 22 to 2025/2026. Herrera was a big get, this kid will be the C for the cardinals real soon and is jumping up the top prospects list and should be a top 100 before season end. Crochet is a nice add to potentially go with kopech and keller and another top 100 guy. Better to get guys I want now rather than nothing next year on a rental contract. Thanks Sean and now ya have the pieces to win now!

Josh really wanted Crochet and Herrera, and I don’t blame him. They could both be special. Adding Giolito and Freeland to my rotation gives me an ace and decent depth too, and ultimately that made it worth losing guys I planned on building around in the future. As with all prospects, Crochet and Herrera aren’t sure things, Crochet has injury concerns and catchers take a long time to develop. Cashing in on their value to get a two years of a low salary, high impact SP was too good of a deal to pass up, given the state of my MLB roster going into the 2021 season. Altuve and the draft pick will give me something to begin reloading the farm.

And to clarify, the pick is 5.8 in the 2021 Amat draft

Processed. Originally thought that Giolito was a 2021 rental, in which case the trade is pretty fair but for 2 years of cheap(!) potentially #1/#2 SP value I think SD got a steal!
