Yankees get OF Christian Yelich

Marlins get OF Clint Frazier, RHP Chance Adams, RHP Domingo Acevedo and SS/2B Thairo Estrada.

Marlins get 2 top 50 prospects, one is OF Frazier(was rated as high as #15 before graduating) and #52 RHP Adams. They also get RHP Acevedo who is #6 in Yankees top 30 and number #17 in SS/2B Estrada.

Yankees improve their line up and team with the addition of Yelich, who is locked up for years and owns one of the most affordable contracts in baseball.

I used the Adam Eaton trade as a guide. Even though I know Yelich is a better player.
What do you guys think? I feel that it might be a tad light on the Yankees side.

(This trade would only take place if the Yankees are somehow able to trade Ellsbury, I know its a long shot but one only hope.)

Yelich is 3 years younger than Eaton, and I'd argue he's better. I think the return will top Eaton's, by quite a bit.

Keep in mind, the Marlins have stated they aren't eager to move him, so I'd imagine they'd want a really nice return just to convince them. Somehow, I'm not sure this is enough.

That said, I think you're on the right path here. But it just seemed a bit light.

Yea I agree with you. At first I actually had RHP Freicer Perez as the 4th piece instead of SS/ 2B Estrada but then I went over to check the Marlins top prospect and realized they might need some young middle infielders in their farm.

The Marlins need everything in that system.
