Yankees get Taillon

[Post Count Padder]

The Yankees have worked out a deal to acquire right-hander Jameson Taillon, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The Pirates will receive four prospects in return. ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan (Twitter link) reports that the minor leaguers in question are right-handers Miguel Yajure, Roansy Contreras, infielder Maikol Escotto and outfielder Canaan Smith.

 

None of those players are top 10 prospects for the Yankees it appears though Canaan Smith could be a breakout prospect and Yajure made his MLB debut this season. Still don't understand why the Pirates felt the need to make this trade now.

The Pirates are in the perpetual “more than two years away from contending” mode.

That had that one window that was slammed shut by God-mode Jake and Schwarbs.

 

Is that the last time that Pirates fan posted here?
