Should New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones be untouchable in trade talks? Sorry to all my prospect huggers, but no. He could be a valuable commodity this offseason, with an all-time summer fresh in the minds of all bidders (despite lingering strikeout worries that everyone and their mother is aware of, provided their mother reads FanGraphs).
But should the Yankees trade Jones at this particular deadline, with this particular talent pool available on the market, with this particular Yankees roster? Absolutely not, and Thursday's remarkable showcase should've removed all doubt.
