During the retooling seasons prior to 2018, it wasn’t absurd to hear about a prospect being labeled as “untouchable.” From James Pazos (seriously) to Aaron Judge, several Yankee players have held that title over the past five seasons. Just earlier this summer, Brian Cashman placed this tag on Gleyber Torres. However, the time for labeling prospects untouchable should be over. It’s time to sell the farm if the right buyer comes along.
Last season, the Yankees nearly toppled the Astros, and this season it was the same story but with a different opponent -- the Boston Red Sox.
