The Yankees are now\u00a0looking at alternatives for an Opening Day starter, and it seems the team is increasingly likely to add some roster insurance for their\u00a0$324 million star pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for FanSided, Zachary Rotman projected\u00a0that a trade package of three top prospects and two young infielders could be enough to bring Cease to New York. He proposed that the Yankees send Chase Hampton, Everson Pereira, Will Warren, Oswald Peraza and Oswaldo Cabrera to the White Sox in exchange for Cease.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The New York Yankees Will Have Trouble Trading for Dylan Cease Without Losing Spencer Jones<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees would give up three of their top ten prospects according to MLB Pipeline along with two young MLB players to get their hands on Cease,\u201d Rotman projected. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot, but this is the kind of offer that really gets the White Sox to listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reporting that the trade discussions around Cease had picked back up, Nightengale\u00a0added\u00a0that the Yankees were still unwilling to part with \u201cprized outfield prospect Spencer Jones.\u201d If that continues to be the case, it could mean that only an extensive bundle of alternative assets can get a deal done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White Sox would be receiving both of New York\u2019s top pitching prospects in this trade,\u201d Rotman noted. \u201cChicago would also be receiving a MLB-ready outfield prospect in Pereira, and a pair of MLB infielders who do not have starting spots on the Yankees in Peraza and Cabrera.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>With Gerrit Cole Facing Potential Injury, the New York Yankees May Be Desperate to Trade for a Pitcher<\/h2>\n<p>Though it\u2019s unknown whether Cole is legitimately injured, the initial signs are not encouraging for Yankees fans.<\/p>\n<p>Cole threw a mere 39 pitches across two innings in a Spring Training debut then roughly 50 pitches in a simulated game before facing difficulty in recovering,\u00a0according to Mike Axisa of CBS Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees have started to consider other options about who could start Opening Day if Cole is unavailable,\u201d Axisa reported. \u201cIt goes without saying that losing Cole for any length of time would be a devastating blow to a Yankees team that is trying to return to the postseason after going 82-80 in 2023, the franchise\u2019s worst record in three decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While there are premier options on the free-agent market, including 2023 NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, analysts have noted that signing such a player could be financially prohibitive for the Yankees due to their high-tier payroll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Yankees were to sign Snell to a one-year deal worth $30 million, it would actually cost them $63 million in total \u2014 and they would also have to surrender two draft choices and $1 million in international bonus pool money,\u201d\u00a0according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, if the Yankees want to insure their roster against the potential absence of Cole, a trade for Cease might be the best option. And if they won\u2019t part with Jones or fellow top prospect Jasson Dominguez, a five-player package might be required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Yankees won\u2019t trade Jones or Dominguez, this kind of package might be what they\u2019re looking at in a Cease trade,\u201d Rotman concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0New York Yankees principal owner Hal Steinbrenner has new reason to pursue a trade for Chicago White Sox ace Dylan Cease The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0have renewed their trade&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":103979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nflquynh.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
