LAS VEGAS — The Yankees continue to shoot high with Sonny Gray, despite his poor performance in 2018 and the fact GM Brian Cashman has publicly stated his plan is to trade the righty.
The Yankees asked the Reds for outfielder Taylor Trammell, whom MLB.com has ranked as the 17th-best prospect in the majors. As you would expect, Cincinnati was not interested in that conversation. Keep in mind that the Yankees could ask for a lot and then settle for considerably less and also that they could sweeten a deal for Gray by including a prospect or two.
