The Yankees made one of the biggest splashes early into the offseason Monday.
They acquired left-handed starting pitcher James Paxton from the Seattle Mariners.
In return, the Mariners will receive a trio of prospects, with lefty pitcher Justus Sheffield -- the team's best pupil via MLB.com -- as the headliner. Also heading to Seattle will be outfielder Dom Thompson-Williams and pitcher Erik Swanson.
The Yankees and Mariners each confirmed the trade in separate statements. Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan first reported the deal.
