The Yankees are generally right about their pitchers. They hold on to the good ones and deal the ones they feel aren't more than league average. As I said, aside from Eric Milton, I can't think of a single Yankees pitching prospect who was traded and went on to become an All Star in recent memory.
Juan Soto is a perennial MVP candidate. He is exactly the player you would hope your prospects turn into. It makes more sense to trade for him as he is than to hold onto Drew Thorpe in case he's almost as good.
