Breakdown
Yankees get- 1B/3B Todd Frazier, RHP David Robertson, RHP Tommy Kahnle
White Sox get- RHP Tyler Clippard, OF Blake Rutherford, LHP Ian Clarkin, OF Tito Polo
I'm not blown away by Todd Frazier, since he's only a rental. However, if that's what it took to re-acquire David Robertson, who still has a year on his deal, then so be it. Also, Tommy Kahnle seems to be a good pickup, an arm they had in the past but couldn't keep.
Good riddance Tyler Clippard! I love the fact that they dropped him relatively quickly (although, it could have been quicker), rather acting like he's extorting them, a la Stephen Drew. As for Blake Rutherford, it really hurts to see him go, but there were a ton of outfielders ahead of him. Also, I'm sure the greedy White Sox would not have agreed to the deal had Rutherford not been included.
A big welcome to Tommy and the Todd Father. Welcome home D-Rob.
Now it's time for the Yankees to win a series. Montgomery vs Berrios today. Get 'er done.
