Most New York Yankee fans are not aware that yesterday the Yankees made an intriguing trade. They traded with the Texas Rangers acquiring Rougned Odor. Odor will sit on the bench. To make this possible, the Yankees designated Thairo Estrada for assignment. The Yankees have 10 days to trade Estrada or release him on waivers. The 27-year-old Odor has $27 million left on his contract; most will be paid by the Rangers while the Yankees will pay him the MLB minimum per Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Now the New York Yankees question is what to do with Jay Bruce, Tyler Wade, or do they send Odor to Scanton to start the season.
