This is a huge deal for the Yankees. This opens up so many opportunities, especially for trades. Multiple reports indicate that the Yankees are frontrunners and heavily linked and heavily pursuing a trade of OF Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros. Houston is asking for C/1B Ben Rice and RHP Luis Gil.

Below is the current landscape of the starting rotation, before any more moves are made.
