The New York Yankees have acquired flame-thrower Aroldis Chapman from the Reds for 4 minor league prospects: Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, Caleb Cotham and Tony Renda. Davis and Jagielo are regarded as Top 15 to 20 prospects in the Yankees organization. Gotham, 28, was likely thrown in to add "quantity" to the trade.
This trade bolsters the Yankees bullpen, giving them a Big-3 of Delin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. The acquisition of Chapman will add a left-handed arm which will replace the loss of the Justin Wilson trade to Detroit. The Yankees are likely to keep Andrew Miller, who has been on the trading block for most of 2015-2016 offseason.
I believe the Yankees will continue to listen to offers for Gardner and Ivan Nova and possibly create a package deal for the two, if the right offer presents itself.
