When news first broke that the Yankees rejected a trade proposal for Luis Castillo that included Gleyber Torres, my immediate knee-jerk reactions were those of dismay and disappointment, though not necessarily surprise. Jon Heyman reported that the Reds offered to trade Castillo for a package of Torres plus others, and while we do not know who the additional piece are, it is a fairly safe assumption that Torres’ inclusion was the sticking point of the proposal. The Yankees’ rejection appears swift and decisive, but should it be so? Should the Yankees in fact consider their stance on Gleyber’s tradability more seriously?
