Finally, some breaking news Yankees fans all hoped to hear! The Yankees have acquired Paxton from the Mariners to bolster their starting rotation for the 2019 season. And the thing is they’re probably not done yet.
Before any of you get frustrated that they traded Sheffield, many reports have surfaced that the organization lost some faith in Sheffield after his lack of development in 2018. Lack of control and concern about his stamina had some believing he might be better suited to pitch out of the bullpen instead of towards the top of the rotation.
Fans have to realize that the Yankees are in win now mode and are in no position to prospect hug.
