Summary: The Yankees made a major trade last week, acquiring James Paxton from Seattle for Justus Sheffield, Erik Swanson, and Dom Thompson-Williams. We break down the trade, Paxton’s injury history, pitch mix and statcast metrics, and what losing top prospect Justus Sheffield means. Then we discuss the Yankees rotation for 2019, how Paxton impacts the rest of the offseason, Cashman’s comments about the rotation and infield depth, and mailbag questions about the Yankees farm system and having too many lefties in the rotation.
