I am good with this trade, especially as Paxton is under control for 2 more seasons,  though I don't know much about the other two guys being traded.  I saw some numbers on ESPN and it looks like Paxton's salary is clsoe to Gray, so if he can be unloaded, this has minimal payroll impact.  Thus, I believe that thanks Yanks still go after Corbin  in the Free Agency market.  The question then becomes do the Yanks still try to bring JA Happ back.  If they get Corbin, I say no.  I do think that this takes the Yanks out of any potnetial Bumgarner talks and now they don't need to consider Eovaldi.

So, the starting rotation looks like this:

1) Severino
2) Paxton
3) Tanaka
4) Corbin
5) Sabathia
*) Loaissiga/Montgomery (Jul '19)

So, the focus turns to the infield and the big question is if the Yanks go after Machado.  If yes, then I believe Andujar will become trade bait for maybe a top-end 1st Baseman bat (such as Anthony Rizzo who a lefty bat that the Bubs may move should payroll issues force them to move him) or maybe to help re-stock the minors with Sheffield gone.  I still like picking-up Daniel Murphy as versatile infielder, especially while Did is out, and as an important Left bat.
