Yankees potentially got good news after Red Sox's questionable Pirates trade

File this one under bizarre trades that make no sense. The Boston Red Sox just traded Jhostynxon Garcia, their No. 3 prospect and No. 85 in MLB Pipeline's Top 100, as well as a famously difficult-to-spell name, to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for starting pitcher Johan Oviedo, a guy who made just nine starts last season. The New York Yankees have got to be laughing at this one.

The full trade includes a few other youngsters swapping jerseys, with 22-year-old catcher Adonys Guzman and 26-year-old lefty Tyler Samaniego heading up to Boston and 18-year-old righty Jesus Travieso accompanying Garcia on the trip to Pittsburgh.
