Jabari Blashis going to the Yanks in the deal, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via TwitterYangervis SolarteStarlin Castro in the Giancarlo StantonTodd Frazier, who was acquired to upgrade over Headley at the 2017 trade deadline. The Yanks have a variety of intriguing young players, too, led by top prospect Gleyber Torres, so that remains an option at either spot. And, of course, the Yankees are said to be perusing the trade market for starters, with free agency also now seemingly a possibility as well.

Interesting that the Padres are the ones on the receiving end of a salary dump. And in so doing may have picked up a decent young starting pitcher. If that turns out to be the case then this could go down as one of Preller's better deals. And that's not counting whatever we get from Headley.

Have they traded Headley yet? Id rather have kept Solarte than Headley.
