The Gray deal was tied-up while the Red negotiated an extension for Gray, which appears to be done.  What's odd, is that the Yanks flipped the 2B prospect they got from Cincinati, Long, to Seattle for an OF prospect, Josh Stowers.  I did not know that the Yanks also shipped an 'unranked' pitching prospect, Reiver Sanmartin, which I guess was a match for the '2019 Competitive Balance Round A draft pick' that Yanks also got from the Reds.

Separately, the Yanks signed Danny Farquhar, a former relief pitcher from the White Sox, to a minor league contract.  He's the guy who almost died in the White Sox dugout last April after suffering a ruptured brain aneurysm.  I'm just happy he's alive to sign a baseball contract in 2019, regardless of the team.
