2. New York Yankees
Preseason Top 10 rank: unranked
Prospects on Top 100: 7
If not for the Brewers' Monday moves, the Yankees' Trade Deadline activity would have given them the best farm system in baseball. They maximized the value received for Aroldis Chapman (shortstop Gleyber Torres, No. 24 on the Top 100, among four players), Andrew Miller (outfielder Clint Frazier, No. 22, and left-hander Justus Sheffield, No. 93, among four players) and Carlos Beltran (right-hander Dillon Tate, the fourth overall pick in the 2015 Draft, among three players). Even before that, New York had plenty of high-ceiling talent, including speedy shortstop Jorge Mateo (No. 25), a pair of nearly-ready sluggers in outfielder Aaron Judge (No. 30) and catcher Gary Sanchez (No. 37), and toolsy outfielder Blake Rutherford (No. 62). They may come in No. 2 in our rankings, but the Yanks do have the deepest system in the game.

It's best for both parties. He can't stay healthy or produce anymore, and it helps the team move on. Meant to come in here after the Miller and Chapman trades. Saw we got high prospects for them, but can't remember anything besides a left handed pitcher. Anyone with knowledge on the subject? @Illeye buckmatic what sort of prospects did your guys give up for Miller?
Yankees got themselves a potential all star outfielder
It hurts but when a WS is within reach you gotta do it
It wouldn't have felt so bad if we got Lucroy in the trade he vetoed to go with this. But I can't knock our front office for going for the ring

My friend who is a Cubs fan said the same thing about chapman, though I can't remember what they got for him. Hurts to pay a high price, but when a championship is a realistic possibility, go for it.Yankees got themselves a potential all star outfielder
