Spencer Jones' resurgence has created tough reality for Yankees at trade deadline

New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones is on an absolute tear and has gotten even better ever since being bumped to Triple-A. Initially, fans thought his promotion was the Yankees posturing for the trade deadline. After all, if Jones performed better, it would've given them a premier asset to move.

Not so fast, though. Who is even available that would make the Yankees feel comfortable trading a guy who is hitting .296 with 23 home runs, 47 RBI, 16 stolen bases and a 1.038 OPS this year? Seriously? You want ... Zac Gallen, Eugenio Suarez (both rentals) and a bullpen arm for Jones and another top prospect?
