Monday afternoon, the Seattle Mariners threw some coal into the hot stove fire and made a trade with the New York Yankees that sent James Paxton to Yankees in exchange for LHP Justus Sheffield, RHP Erik Swanson and OF Dom Thompson-Williams.
The Yankees were very welcoming when announcing the trade on social media.
