How do these new prospects compare to those that the Yankees gave up to trade for Chapman. The Yankees sent the Reds Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, Tony Renda and Caleb Cotham.
though Rojas tweeted that they're getting Cease and Pierce Johnson and no McKinney. Crawford seems more plausible. He's a speed-first CF and a prospect, but he's not a premium one by any means.
Hope they drop a couple of games in Houston so the sale continues. It's sad to watch Girardi manage these games like Game 7 of the World Series so Hal can cling to his hope of selling a few extra tickets in August and September.
RE: Rashad Crawford is the other player, supposedly...

That's the exact package a fake Rosenthal account posted so Rojas may have been caught stealing fake info lol
The Yankees are on the verge of turning a quartet of essentially non-prospects from seven months ago into one of the most valuable young assets in the prospect world in Torres, a pitcher whos had success for them in the past in Adam Warren, another legitimate major league prospect in Billy McKinney, and more. It looks like the kind of return we mightve expected for two-and-a-half reasonably priced years of Miller. Its the kind of return that forces us to once again re-evaluate our perception of a relievers trade value. The kind of return that forces a club like the Royals to think long and hard about selling what theyve got at the back-end of their bullpen, and has to make the Yankees wonder what they could get for their lefty with real trade value. Even considering the possibility of the suspension that loomed over Chapman and suppressed his trade value in the offseason, the difference between what it cost the Yankees to acquire Chapman and what theyre about to receive for him is both staggering and puzzling.
RE: Torres - BA's #27 prospect on the midseason top 100
The Yankes would be insane not to keep shopping Miller, who's the better pitcher right now and under a reasonable contract for two more seasons. They might really bring back a king's ransom for him.

And the Indians, Nats and Rangers with their loaded farms are pulling up the trucks...
don't think that Sherman suggested package lands Chris Sale
"If so, the Yankees might find that teams such as the Red Sox and Dodgers have more prospects. But if the Yankees are indeed getting shortstop phenom Gleyber Torres as the key to the Chapman deal from the Cubs, does offering the White Sox a package headed by Torres or Jorge Mateo, Gary Sanchez or Aaron Judge and Luis Severino or James Kaprielian at least get them in the game?"
They already reportedly turned down Gallo/Profar and another unnamed "top" prospect with the White Sox insisting on Mazara
what the Yankees did here. As others have said, excellent asset management across the two trades.
It was a lot of fun watching Chapman. And it looks like the door is still open for a return next season. Wouldn't have to give up the draft pick either to sign him. Cubs taking a big risk.
I'm sure they want to see how the rest of the week goes, but they've got to explore every possible deal for Miller. The RP market is officially insane.
He'll be 30 by the time the Yankees are real contenders again, and he's apparently a head case to boot.
What the Yankees can do with these trades (assuming Beltran and Miller and others go too) is build an excellent young nucleus again, one that will contend for a long time.
The price Miller will command will be huge. The Indians are almost as starved for a championship as the Cubs, and they have a loaded system. Think they're not going to feel compelled to bite the bullet for a relief ace as the potential final piece for a title team?

The Yankees only where 1 road and 1 home uniform. Nothing to worry about :-)
but seriously, I wouldn't trade prospects for a 30 yr old pitcher
Certainly makes the risk of that happening increase for one thing. For another, what's the point of accumulating assets just to send the best of them away for a guy who isn't going to turn this franchise around by himself?
RE: RE: but seriously, I wouldn't trade prospects for a 30 yr old pitcher
Tampa already has a logjam at SS with Mateo, Avelino, and Estrada already splitting time between 2B/SS and Trenton has Wade and Culver. Granted only Mateo is on Torres' level as a prospect, but the others (aside from Culver) still have some potential.
There had been words that there may be an extension involved earlier. Not clear yet all the specifics.
If the Yanks go into a rebuild they need to add pitching prospects. Makes no sense to spend on hitting if you are in a rebuild.

It's 24 on the latest MLB.com rating and according to them, Chicago Cubs Prospects (#1), SS Prospects (#8)
Rookie Davis
Eric Jagielo
Tony Renda
Caleb Cotham
Brendan Ryan
for
Gleyber Torres
Billy McKinney
Starlin Castro
One other guy (potentially)
In their defense, Cubs fans aren't exactly used to things working out for them.
Sounds like a solid haul for the Yanks
Theo Epstein may as well pick out his HOF bust if that happens. Being instrumental in the Cubs and and Red Sox WS droughts ending.
And the Indians, Nats and Rangers with their loaded farms are pulling up the trucks...
Since 2010, Aroldis Chapman has 1,513 pitches at 100 MPH or faster, more than next 18 pitchers on list COMBINED.

+1
Unless a team unloads its truck of major prospects

Sale is 27. 28 next season.

But the Yankees probably won't be ready to do much more than hope for a wild card for 2-3 more years.
