New York Yankees Trade 2nd Base Prospect For Talented Outfielder

The New York Yankees traded starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Cincinnati Reds in return for second-base prospect Shed Long and a high draft pick.

The New York Yankees complete a trade within a trade:

Immediately following the conclusion of the deal, Long was traded to the Seattle Mariners for outfielder Josh Stowers. With Gleyber Torres supplanting himself as the team’s future second-baseman, it made Long expendable, as they must have seen a flaw they didn’t like and were looking for a different skill-set.

Stowers currently sits in the Low-A Northwest League, displaying great speed and on-base running.
