Yankees-Angels Mike Trout trade idea would be instant regret for Brian Cashman

Sure, the Yankees might love to add Trout, but what will it cost them? The center fielder/designated hitter also has a no-trade clause in his contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

"It's impact prospects the Yankees lack, but the Angels could angle for Carlos Lagrange or fellow flamethrower Elmer Rodriguez," Rymer added. "Spencer Jones could go as well, because why not?"

Lagrange's talent is undeniable, and although the Yankees have a strong rotation, the prospect's future could be in the bullpen. They are also very fond of Rodriguez, and truly, Jones is the most logical name mentioned, despite there being a potential center field opening when Grisham reaches free agency at the end of the season.

But even given Trout's resurgence and the excitement of Aaron Judge and him being teammates, the potential for injuries and decline with age makes this too risky a deal for Cashman to accept.
