MLB.com | Jane Lee: Yankees fans witnessed the speculation that Mets closer Jeurys Familia was about to be traded when he didn’t warm up late in Friday’s close Subway Series game. The deal was made official late Saturday, and it was then that we learned precisely how little Oakland expended to acquire him. The Athletics gave up their number 17 prospect, an unranked prospect, and $1 million in international bonus pool money.
Familia has already amassed 1.4 WAR this season, has averaged 9.2 strikeouts per nine over his career, and has allowed a paltry three home runs over his last 133 innings dating back to the start of 2016.
