Should the Yankees regret trading all those young pitchers?

The Yankees are usually contenders. That itself doesn’t necessarily mean they make a lot of trades (though they do), but it does mean that when they do trade, they’re usually trading prospects or young players for established big leaguers. Name a season, name a trade. There have been a lot of them.

By that process, the Yankees have traded away a lot of young pitchers. Damn near a whole pitching staff’s worth. Given their incredible string of injury luck with regards to pitchers this year, I thought it might be worth a check-in on some of the kids who are pitching in pinstripes in an alternate universe.
