The New York Yankees acquired Domingo German, who was then the eight-best prospect in the Miami Marlins system, as a throw-in for the deal that sent Martin Prado and David Phelps to Miami for Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones.
Over two years after that deal, it looks like German can make that trade a winning one for general manager Brian Cashman. But it didn’t seem like it at first.
Before his first season as a member of the Yankees organization, German underwent surgery to operate on a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
