The Yankees lost the Nathan Eovaldi deal, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have done it

Earlier this week, the Yankees officially released Nathan Eovaldi. He was acquired two years ago after the 2014 season in a trade with the Miami Marlins where the Yankees sent Martin Prado, David Phelps, and $6 million to Miami in exchange for Eovaldi, Domingo German, and Garrett Jones.

With Eovaldi no longer a part of the New York organization, the Yankees' end of that deal is all but complete (German, 23, threw 49 innings in the low minors this year after Tommy John surgery). Looking at the results, there is no denying that the Yankees "lost" the trade.
