And Yankees did give up some good prospects. BA isn’t the only scouting org out there. Waldechuk and Medina are both top 100 on some lists even ahead of Ricky and Zulueta. I remember the last As starter (Gray) that Yankees traded for didn’t work out very well.
Also it’s very unlikely any of the starters (other than Rodon) would be top three on this rotation which means you’re just trading for depth, not someone that would be meaningful for the playoffs when rotations often go three deep. All I really hope is they get one solid reliever of say Garcia/Cimber quality and say another guy a bit worse for depth.
