For fans especially, trading away prospects, particularly prospects who have already made an impact on the 2019 Yankees, is like trading away a beloved friend. The truth is that baseball is a business, it is not all fun and games. Ownership and Brian Cashman’s Baseball Operations team knows this better than anyone.
Sure, the Yankees have proved this year that they have unbelievable amounts of depth in their organization. But in all likelihood, Cashman and Co. will trade away some young talent in order to acquire a player(s) that can make an immediate impact on the big-league club.
