Yankees get:
P Miguel Almonte, KC - 13:$0.1M (PROSPECT)
P Kyle Smith, KC - 13:$0.1M (PROSPECT)
2014 3RD (KC)
Royals get:
RP Mariano Rivera, NYY - 13:$10M (FULLY PAID)
OF Curtis Granderson, NYY - 13:$13M (FULLY PAID)
Yankees Net Cap: +$0.2M
Royals Net Cap: -$0.2M
Place Miguel Almonte in minors.
Place Kyle Smith in minors.
Yankees confirm.
We're adding to our pitching depth in our farm with this move. Almonte and Smith are both guys we think are pretty underrated in the Royals system due to other guys like Ventura and Zimmer, but both have proven they can pitch well and we look forward to developing them in our revamped farm system.
Rivera and Granderson, while they have been significant contributors to this team for a long time, should find success in their new home in Kansas City.
Long negotiations, but good dealing, Royals.
