Yankees Trade Rumors and Gossip 8/8/15: Prepare for James Shields and Martin Prado

What’s this, you ask – a non-Wednesday rumors and gossip roundup? Why, yes, that’s what this is! Picture every Yankees-related rumor encompassed in the body of a portly old man – short and squat, big belly, Larry King-like suspenders, maybe corduroy pants. Now imagine the portly old man eats an especially full plate of rumors for lunch which causes his stomach to become portlier and his pants to explode open, top button flying across the room and zipper ripping apart as if it had been sliced open by a samurai sword. In this convoluted and, truth be told, totally meaningless metaphor, we are the portly old man, and we have been fed one too many rumors and/or gossips.
