Jon Morosi, much to Yankees fans’ delight (or dismay), reported that the Yankees are indeed interested in White Sox ace Jose Quintana, one of the last remaining major-league talents of an organization that has already dealt Chris Sale and Adam Eaton. For a team like the Yankees, who are merely hovering around contention without much money left to spend, this would be an excellent move to make.
I know what you’re all about to say: “But Matt, think of the prospects!” Yes, I’m aware of the prospects. The Yankees have arguably the best farm system in baseball, which is still weird to type and say out loud.
