A week has passed since the Yankees shipped Justin Wilson to the Tigers for 2 Triple-A pitchers. It’s done, it’s over, it’s old news by now, and yet I still can’t fully accept the deal and move on. I completely understand why the Yankees made the move. It was another textbook example of the “trade from positions of organizational depth to address areas of weakness” strategy that Cash has employed to try to rebuild this roster on the fly, and that strategy seems to be working pretty well. I also completely understand why a lot of people didn’t like the idea of trading away an important piece of the 2016 Major League puzzle to fill holes in the Triple-A rotation.
