A consummated trade by the Bronx Bombers may affect that thinking.<\/h2>\n<p>Pittsburgh Pirates fans waiting for the Yankees and Bucs to consummate a potential Gerrit Cole trade likely raised an eyebrow during day two of the winter meetings when the Yankees traded third baseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/headlch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chase Headley<\/a> to the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Yankees?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Yankees<\/a> are getting back outfielder Jabari Blash for Headley\/Mitchell. This feels like NYY salary dump, tying Mitchell&#39;s upside arm to get <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Padres?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Padres<\/a> to take all of Headley&#39;s $13M pact.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Joelsherman1\/status\/940617870320521217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 12, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why this matters to the Pittsburgh Pirates. We have previously heard that the Pirates would like to structure a deal around major-league ready third baseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/andujmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Miguel Andujar<\/a>, the fourth-ranked third base prospect overall by MLB Pipeline. Andujar certainly looked capable of hanging at the plate in the major leagues last season, albeit in a very short seven at bat sample size. Nevertheless, he did not look overmatched, and the Yankees might be ready to roll with Andujar in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>With Andujar perhaps needed in 2018, could the Pirates pivot to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/frazicl01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Clint Frazier<\/a> instead? For more on that, see the link below.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, New York might look for a third base stopgap out on the market until they begin their pursuit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/machama01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Manny Machado<\/a> in earnest after 2018 concludes.<\/p>\n<p>In moving Headley, the Yankees are now firmly locked into the starting pitching market, which may work in the Pirates&#8217; favor.<\/p>\n<p>As usual with everything in the winter meetings, deals develop slowly at times. Perhaps this move indicates the Yankees are ready to move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/piratesbreakdown.com\/2017\/12\/10\/pittsburgh-pirates-potential-trade-target-profile-clint-frazier\/\">Potential Pirates trade target profile: Clint Frazier<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Pirates might line up with the New York Yankees as trade partners for Gerrit Cole.
