Can't see the Astros making this rumored trade that would help the Yankees.

Yankees Linked To Astros’ Framber Valdez In Rare Trade Deal!

In a surprising turn of events, an MLB insider has crafted a potential blockbuster trade scenario that could see Houston Astros’ elite starter Framber Valdez donning the pinstripes for the New York Yankees. Valdez has emerged as one of the Astros’ standout pitchers in recent years. His ability to command a diverse pitch repertoire and generate strikeouts has made him a valuable asset for his side. Moreover, in 2023, the starter logged an All-Star-worthy season. He went 12-11 whilst posting a 3.45 ERA across 31 starts. While the pitcher posted decent numbers in 2023, his performance in 2022 was relatively much better. Regardless, Valdez delivered back-to-back 31 starts in the season, which speaks a lot about his durability.

Coming back to the trade package, Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report suggested that to land Framber Valdez, the Yankees must part with No. 3 overall prospect, outfielder Everson Pereira, No. 4 prospect and right-handed starter Chase Hampton and No. 5 prospect, shortstop George Lombard Jr. Obviously, the exchange offer is too steep. But the Bronx Bombers would gain his control for the next three seasons. On the other hand, losing a pitcher of Valdez’s caliber would undoubtedly leave a void in the Astros’ rotation. However, the potential return package favors their best interest. Overall, the Bombers have an opportunity to seal off its rotation by adding Valdez to the roster. Keeping the rivalry behind, the Yankee front office must seek help from the Astros to elevate championship-winning chances for the impending season.
