The Yankees officially traded Andrew Miller to the Indians:
The Indians are sending back four players, including top prospects Justus Sheffield and Clint Frazier, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney.
Minor league pitchers Ben Heller and J.P. Feyereisen are also heading to New York.
Miller is a terrific relief pitcher, and doesn’t seem to be bothered by his role. He can setup or close.
Frazier is a high OBP outfielder. When I look at his stats, I think Brett Gardner. Sheffield is just seasonal age 20, and in the low minors allowed just 14 home runs in 243 1/3 innings. Feyereisen is blowing away batters at AA, but with a high walk rate. Heller should really be major league ready. He is seasonal age 24 and is posting great three-true outcome numbers this season.
The Yankees got a nice haul of prospects for a relief pitcher. I’m not sure any of them will be a star, but they all should be players that contribute eventually.
