Did Mid-Season Trades Cost The New York Yankees A Playoff Spot?

It had to be done, right? At least, that is what fans keep telling themselves when they saw the New York Yankees trade away three of their biggest assets for a group of up-and-coming prospects.

Now that Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller are competing against one another for a World Series title, New York can only sit and wonder what would happen if they kept these two pitchers.

Both of them played tremendous roles on their team in getting them to this position. Miller was even named the ALCS MVP for the Cleveland Indians, an honor only three other relief pitchers have earned.
