After weeks of speculation, and days spent on the edge of our seats, the Oakland A’s have finally traded Sonny Gray. The star pitcher is headed to the Yankees, reports Jack Curry of YES Network. New York sends back three prospects: IF/OF Jorge Mateo, OF Dustin Fowler, and RHP James Kaprielian, via Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. The A’s also send some international bonus pool money.
One oddity about this prospect package is that two of the three players are currently out for the season with injuries. Fowler suffered a season-ending knee injury in his MLB debut in June, and Kaprielian had Tommy John surgery in April.
