AWESOME.
Finally the yanks have made a trade for YOUNGER talent. For the last 4 years I have been calling for this. They need tore stock the farm system and team.

Ideally Sanchez pans out to a decent starter, and the other guys can be trade fodder at some point. But they did 2 great things here...

Dumped an Old Player that is paid too much (and they won the division without) and gained a young pitcher to come up to a team that is old and dying at that posistion.


Awesome trade, a step in the right direction, and a huge departure from normal Yankee front office moves.
