James Paxton – Seattle Mariners

Moves are being made around the league. The Yankees are predicted to be major buyers this offseason and it has already started with the acquisition of James Paxton in exchange for the Yankees top pitching prospect Justus Sheffield to the Seattle Mariners. A couple other prospects were included in the deal from the Yankees. The Yankees are apparently in talks for superstars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado as well. It’s also obvious the Yankees should look into another starter to complete the rotation too. As for the rest of the league, the Braves are making moves in acquiring Josh Donaldson and Brian McCann, and they are looking to make a run with their young core. A lot of trade rumors are spreading around the league as well involving players like Madison Bumgarner and Paul Goldschmidt along with other superstars looking to find their way on a contending team. Quick side note on awards, all real baseball fans know that Miguel Andujar should’ve won rookie of the year for the American League, and the stats show it. As for the MVP, both of those could’ve been easily predicted although I thought JD Martinez should’ve gotten more recognition in that race, even as a Yankee fan. As of right now a hot topic in baseball is that ace Patrick Corbin is supposedly getting close to a deal with the Phillies, which is unfortunate for the Yankees even though it’s not a done deal as of right now. The Yankees are far from done with making moves and who knows how the team will end up.
