Lance Lynn defines a now move, just like Zach Britton and J.A. Happ. They are all in their walk years. They each cost the Yankees prospects.
Yet what might resonate from this trade season is that while honoring their go-for-it reputation, the Yankees emphasized the future.
They acquired the maximum $3.75 million in international pool money in trades with the Cardinals (Giovany Gallegos and Chasen Shreve), White Sox (Caleb Frare) and finally on Monday with the Mariners (Adam Warren). The last one was the toughest.
Warren was treasured within the Yankees organization for his toughness and team-oriented nature.
