Is there a reason to expect the Yankees to give Florial away in a trade like this? They’ve held onto him like mad until now. Unless something changed, Florial is Cashman’s dream to be his next OF (Gardner leaves and when Florial is ready, 2021 or so, Hicks moves to LF). It’s a good trade if Cashman is willing to give up Florial; I would assume he’d much rather give away Frazier whose bat is MLB ready.
