Feb. 2018

Yankees trade: RHP Tayler Widener, Nick Solak

Diamondbacks trade: INF Brandon Drury

What's Widener doing?: MLB.com ranks Widener Arizona's No. 4 overall prospect. He has pitched a scoreless inning, giving up a hit and a walk, in his first big-league camp. Widener hasn't pitched above High-A, so he's probably not going to be an option any time soon.

What's Solak doing?: MLB.com ranks Solak the Rays' No. 12 overall prospect. Solak, whose bat is his calling card, is having quite the rough spring. He's hitless in 13 at-bats with three striketous and an RBI. Solak will probably start the year at Double-A.

Feb. 2018

Yankees trade: OF Jabari Blash

Angels trade: A player to be named later

What's Blash doing?: Blash is in Angels' camp, where he's got just one hit (a homer) in 12 at-bats. He's going to battle for the fourth-outfielder gig. With the Yankees, he was probably the eighth or ninth outfielder. Blash's trade is also notable because it's the first between general managers Brian Cashman (Yankees) and Billy Eppler (Angels). Eppler was one of Cashman's most trusted advisors before his left for the Angels' post in 2015.

Dec. 2018

Yankees trade: 3B Chase Headley, RHP Bryan Mitchell

Padres trade: Blash

What's Headley doing?: Headley projects to be the Padres' everyday third baseman, though there's still a chance they trade him. Headley gets on base, is an average defender and is a huge plus in the clubhouse. On a young team, he's very valuable.

What's Mitchell doing?: Mitchell will have a chance to take his mid-90s fastball and hammer curveball into the Padres' rotation. It wasn't going to work out in New York, where the Yankees had too much depth, and where Mitchell just didn't get it done in his big-league cameos (4.94 ERA, 48 G).

Dec. 2018

Yankees trade: 2B Starlin Castro, RHP Jorge Guzman, SS Jose Devers

Marlins trade: Giancarlo Stanton

What are they doing now? We'll condense this one. Castro will be the Marlins' everyday second baseman, even though there were reports soon after the trade that he wanted no part in playing for rebuilding Miami. Guzman, who routinely throws in the 100s, and Devers, an athletic, glove-first shortstop, are in minor-league camp. MLB.com ranks Guzman No. 4 and Devers No. 25 in the Marlins' system.

Nov. 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Nick Rumbelow

Mariners trade: JP Sears, RHP Juan Then

What's Rumbelow doing now?: MLB.com ranks Rumbelow No. 15 in the Mariners' top 30 prospects. The righty could crack the Opening Day roster. He made his big-league debut in 2015 and flashed a power curveball with his mid-90s heat, but missed all of 2016 with Tommy John surgery and pitched in the minors in 2016.

Nov. 2017

Yankees trade: LHP Caleb Smith, 1B Garrett Cooper

Marlins trade: RHP Michael King

What's Smith doing?: Smith expects to compete for a spot in Miami's rotation. He's thrown four scoreless innings in two appearances this spring.

What's Cooper doing?: Cooper might make Miami's bench as a backup 1B. The team wants him to get time in the outfield corners. He's played a little left field. He's got just 2 hits in 13 at-bats so far.

Nov. 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Ronald Herrera

Rangers trade: LHP Reiver Sanmartin

What's Herrera doing?: Herrera appears likely to start the season at Triple-A for the Rangers, who could use him as a swingman at some point in 2018. He got a couple shots with the Yankees as an emergency arm last year.

Don't Edit

July 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Matt Wotherspoon

Orioles trade: Bonus pool money

What's Wotherspoon doing?: Wotherspoon has seen some time in big-league camp for the Orioles. He's 26 years old and he posted a 2.20 ERA in 17 games at Triple-A with Baltimore after the trade last year.

Don't Edit

Carlos Osorio | AP

July 2017

Yankees trade: LHP Tyler Webb

Brewers trade: 1B Garrett Cooper

What's Webb doing now?: Webb will push for a spot in the back-end of the Brewers' bullpen. He made two appearances for Milwuakee after last year's trade. The 27-year-old held lefties to a .200 batting average in the minors last year.

July 2017

Yankees trade: OF Blake Rutherford, LHP Ian Clarkin, RHP Tyler Clippard, OF Tito Polo

White Sox trade: 3B Todd Frazier, RHP David Robertson, RHP Tommy Kahnle

What's Rutherford doing now?: MLB.com ranks Rutherford, the Yankees' first-round pick in 2016 (No. 16 overall), as the White Sox's No. 7 overall prospect. Rutherford, drafted as a center fielder, figures to move to a corner spot — probably left field. He'll likely start the season at High-A.

What's Clarkin doing now?: Clarkin is on Chicago's 40-man roster. The 2013 first-round pick hasn't given up a run in 3 2/3 innings in two outings this spring. He's never pitched above High-A, mostly thanks to injuries.

What's Clippard doing now?: Looking for a job.

What's Polo doing now?: Polo has always had the fourth-outfielder projection. He hasn't appeared in big-league spring for Chicago yet.

July 2017

Yankees trade: UTL Rob Refsnyder

Blue Jays trade: 1B Ryan McBroom

What's Refsnyder doing?: Refsnyder played in 32 games for the Blue Jays last season, hitting just .196. Toronto designated him for assignment and Cleveland claimed him. He's hitting .263 in 19 at-bats this spring with a homer. It's unclear how he'll crack the Opening Day roster.

July 2017

Yankees trade: LHP Dietrich Enns, RHP Zach Littell

Twins trade: LHP Jaime Garcia

What's Enns doing?: Enns has a long-shot chance at making the Twins' rotation out of camp.

What's Littell doing?: He's the Twins' No. 16 overall prospect. The website says he's got the ceiling of a No. 4 starter. Unclear if he'll start the season at Double-A or Triple-A.

We’re coming!! Back on the bump with some fire in the belly!👿👊🏼 pic.twitter.com/pFIk3iN5b7 — James Kaprielian (@JamesKaprielian) February 13, 2018

July 2017

Yankees trade: RHP James Kaprielian, SS Jorge Mateo, CF Dustin Fowler

A's trade: RHP Sonny Gray

What's Kaprielian doing?: MLB.com ranks Kaprielian the A's No. 9 prospect. After missing all of 2016 with Tommy John surgery, he's back to throwing off a mound. The Yankees picked him in the first round in 2015.

What's Mateo doing?: MLB.com ranks Mateo the A's No. 4 prospect. Mateo figures to make his spring debut Tuesday after dealing with a knee ligament strain that bothered him during deceleration.

What's Fowler doing?: MLB.com ranks Fowler the A's No. 5 prospect. Fully recovered from the sad knee injury that took him out of his first big-league game last year with the Yankees before he could even get an at-bat, Fowler figures to be Oakland's Opening Day starting center fielder.

Don't Edit

July 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Yefry Ramirez

Orioles trade: International bonus pool money

What's Ramirez doing?: MLB.com ranks him as Baltimore's No. 23 prospect. Ramirez has made one big-league spring appearance.

June 2017

Yankees trade: SS Ruben Tejada

Orioles trade: Cash

What's Tejada doing?: Tejada got a non-roster invite to Baltimore's big-league spring training and he's hitting .200 in 20 at-bats.

April 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Johnny Barbato

Pirates trade: Player to be named later

What's Barbato doing?: Barbato ended up seeing his most big-league action in 2017 with the Pirates, making 24 appearances. The Tigers claimed him off waivers. He could crack the Opening Day bullpen.

Lynne Sladky | AP

Feb. 2017

Yankees trade: RHP Richard Bleier

Orioles trade: Player to be named later

What's Bleier doing now?: Killing it. No, seriously, he ended up with a 1.99 ERA in 63 1/3 innings over 57 games for the Orioles last season. He should end up with a spot in Baltimore's Opening Day bullpen.

Rob Carr | Getty

Dec. 2016

Yankees trade: RHP Nick Goody

Indians trade: Player to be named later

What's Goody doing?: The 26-year-old spent all last season with the Indians, posting a 2.80 ERA in 56 games. He was much better in the first half (2.16 ERA) than the second half (3.80 ERA). He seems like a good bet to end up in Cleveland's bullpen.

Nov. 2016

Yankees trade: LHP James Pazos

Mariners trade: RHP Zack Littell

What's Pazos doing?: Pazos made 59 appearances and posted a 3.86 ERA last year with the Mariners and figures to end up in Seattle's bullpen again.

John Minchillo | AP

Aug. 2016

Yankees trade: RHP Ivan Nova

Pirates trade: Players to be named later

What's Nova doing?: Nova reportedly showed up to camp 10 pounds lighter than he was last season. He went 11-14 with a 4.14 ERA in 31 starts last year for Pittsburgh, and he'll be back in the rotation.

Don't Edit

John Munson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Aug. 2016

Yankees trade: DH Carlos Beltran

Rangers trade: RHP Dillon Tate, RHP Nick Green, RHP Erik Swanson

What's Beltran doing?: Beltran interviewed for the Yankees' manager job, which went to Aaron Boone. He's enjoying the retired life. Beltran turned down a front office job with the Yankees after not getting the manager spot.

Don't Edit

July 2016

Diamondbacks trade: RHP Tyler Clippard

Yankees trade: RHP Vicente Campos

What's Campos doing now?: The Angels claimed Campos off waivers in Nov. 2016. He made six appearances and five starts (8.27 ERA) at Triple-A last year. Eppler knows Campos well from his time with the Yankees, which bode well for his chances to make it back to the majors.

Joe Camporeale | AP

July 2016

Yankees trade: LHP Andrew Miller

Indians trade: OF Clint Frazier, RHP Ben Heller, RHP J.P. Feyereisen, LHP Justus Sheffield

What's Miller doing now?: You already know. Miller is one of the game's best relievers and he'll be a free agent at season's end. He's making just $9 million this season.
