The Yankees front office had been mulling offers for Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller during the days leading up to both of them being dealt. As expected, Chapman was the first one to be traded, but the Yankees then surprised many by dealing Miller to Cleveland this morning for an incredible prospect haul , giving the Yankees one of the top farm systems in all of baseball. Still, the Yankees are interested in being competitive, in addition to embracing a sell-off, so they went out and acquired Tyler Clippard from the Diamondbacks for Vicente Campos to take over the eighth inning role.

In 2009, Campos was a 16-year old kid from Venezuela hoping to one day make it to the Major Leagues. He had a whale of a second season pitching with the Mariners in the Arizona Fall League. He followed it up with even better numbers in 2011 and wound up ranked the Mariners fifth best prospect in their entire organization. In January of 2012, Campos was traded to the Yankees along with Michael Pineda. He was awarded the same ranking he received in Seattle with New York, but things have been gloomy since Campos arrived. If no progression is made in 2016, don’t expect him to be part of the organization for much longer. Photo Via Yanks Go Yard
