On Tuesday night, the Yankees made a blockbuster deal, sending four players to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for third baseman Todd Frazier, and right-handers David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle.
Prior to the Yankees pulling the trigger, there were rumors that Frazier and Robertson would make their way to the Boston Red Sox. However in the 11th hour, the Yankees swooped in and claimed Frazier, Robertson and Kahnle for themselves.
After having approximately 12 hours to process the deal, here are my thoughts:
Overall:
The Yankees sent Tyler Clippard, Blake Rutherford, Ian Clarkin and Tito Polo to the White Sox, and I believe Rutherford was included because the Yankees wanted Kahnle in the deal as well.
