I’m sorry, Toga but this was a good trade and I’ll explain why…….
1. King is 29 years old and will be a free agent after the 2024 season (just like Soto)
2. Drew Thorpe was our 5th ranked prospect in the Yankees system, but barely cracked the Top 100 in all of minor league baseball..
3. Brito was ok and nothing great.
4. Same with Vasquez.
5. I’d rather lose Higgy than Austin Wells.
6. Judge will turn 32 next season and Cole will turn 34. We have to strike now while those two are still in their prime!
7. The Martian, Volpe, Peraza, Wells, Hampton, Perieria and Spencer Jones are still here!
It was a good, no…… It was a great trade!!!
