The New York Yankees traded former starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Cincinnati Reds in return for a second-base prospect and a high draft pick, but who is the player and what does he offer to a youthful team?
Shed Long, the piece that will come over in the Gray trade, is a legitimate prospect that could be of use down the line for a defensively unstable infield.
Long is 23-years-old who has demonstrated his talents at the plate in the minors so far, slashing .261/.353/.412 (120 wRC+) last season in Double-A ball.
