Yanks don’t have the pitching prospects that PIT wants, so loop in MIA to deal from a position of strength.
MIA: Keeps rotation of Alcantara, Lopez, Cabrera, Garrett, Rogers intact. Add bat of Torres immediately (which they can flip if needed), and adds strong OF bats to a system that is sorely lacking in them.
PIT: They solve the Reynolds issue, dealing him while value is still high to get 3 SP candidates and multiple years of control on a top notch reliever who will be out for the ’23 season (but Pit won’t be contending immediately, so that shouldn’t matter).
NYY: Reynolds is the LF bat they need. Dominguez, Pereira, Effross, Torres is a steep price — but worth it to win in 2023.
Luzardo has only 4 years left until free agent and his first arbitration starts 2023. PIT probably wants more controllable years pitcher like Cabrera, Garrett or Meyer.
