Yankees fans, like any fanbase, love their prospects. But sometimes you have to know when to trade them away for an even better return. Regardless of age, position, or origin, the most important thing is that the players you acquire give you an even better chance to win than the players you gave up. That's exactly what the Yankees did when they gave up Manny Banuelos for Chasen Shreve.
At the time of the trade, the deal looked like a steal for the Yankees. As much as we all loved ManBan, he was a a 24-year-old pitcher with major control problems who had been in Triple-A since 2011 and just got over Tommy John surgery.
