According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees and White Sox are now including former Yankees reliever David Robertson in their trade talks for starter Jose Quintana.

This makes a lot of sense for both sides. The White Sox are rebuilding, and want to shed as much payroll as possible. If the Yankees take on most of the $25 million owed to Robertson over the next two years, they may avoid having to give up a Gleyber Torres or Clint Frazier to acquire Quintana.
