You have to give something up to get something, and, frankly, the Yankees are a bit overloaded on the "really tall RHP with huge upside but a long way to go" department. Even if Betences "makes it," it won't be for, oh, 3 years at least, by which time who knows where the team and rotation will be. Bottom line is that this team is in far dire need of offense and positional prospects for the foreseeable and immediate future, and guys like Betences could and should be used as leverage. I'm not saying they have to trade him or anyone else, but saying that there is no way the will trade him and that they simply can't is bad baseball. Period. Why not?

There's trading the Karstens, McCutchens, Marquez's of the world (marginal pitchers), then there's trading ridiculously talented pitcher's like Betances. I understand what you're saying, but no way should they trade someone like Betances. Or, they can trade the likes of Betences etc and get something real back…
