The Yankees have demonstrated their belief in Adam Warren on several occasions. But never more so than when they insisted that he be included in the deal that sent Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs at midseason in 2016. You’ll recall that this is also the trade that landed both Gleyber Torres and Billy McKinney from the desperate (at the time) Cubbies. And you’ll also remember that it was Warren who was sent to the Cubs in exchange for Starlin Castro the previous year.
Warren Is On The Yankees Most Wanted List
The Cubs got what they needed out of Chapman as a rental, but it’s Warren who is the swing man in both of these trades.
