New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners trade pitch involves Jasson Dominguez and solves issues for both teams

The New York Yankees are still dealing with some injuries on the mound, and as contenders have continued to find out over the many past years, having pitching is always a wise thing in Major League Baseball. 

In a trade pitched by Thomas Carelli of Sports Illustrated, the Yankees would acquire a new starter in the form of George Kirby from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a trade package that includes Jasson Dominguez, Will Warren, and Oswaldo Cabrera. While the Yankees would be adding a starter that they could use, getting rid of Dominguez isn't an easy task at this stage. 

“The Yankees have a volatile rotation. Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Ryan Weathers can be great; however, they can also become the opposite — bad. Kirby would be a top-2 or 3 player in most MLB rotations. The Mariners have him as their borderline 4th. Kirby can be bought low to add solidification to a Yankees rotation that faces many questions about the returns of Rodon and Cole.”

The only problem I have with this potential trade is the fact that when the Yankees are healthy, their staff might be one of the best in baseball. I understand the injuries are fair and real, but I'd probably trade Dominguez for a proven offensive player before trading him for an elite starter like Kirby.
