A Rays-Yankees trade featuring Blake Snell just isn’t happening.
When the report dropped a couple days ago about the Tampa Bay Rays considering trading Blake Snell, New York Yankees fans were ecstatic. After their division rivals imploded in the World Series thanks to their boring style of play (yup, scripting games!), it appears as if they’re still spiraling out of control.
Why would you trade your best pitcher after signing him to the friendliest of contracts? Snell will make just $10.
