THE YANKEES HAVE A NEW SHORTSTOP! GREENE TO DETROIT!

It's a report and according to several of them... the deal is done.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says Didi Gregorius is the new Yankee shortstop. He also says this:

Source: Deal also includes Greene to #Tigers, Ray to #DBacks and another minor leaguer going from DET to AZ.

According to CBSSports.com:

"...the Yankees have traded for Diamondbacks shortstop Didi Gregorius.

It’s a three-team deal with the Tigers and D-backs. Detroit is getting starting pitcher Shane Greene from the Yankees and Arizona is getting starting pitcher Robbie Ray and a minor leaguer from Detroit."

We had written about Gregorius in March. Read DO WE WANT GREGORIUS OR A FARM SYSTEM?
That was written when Jeter was in the shortstop position. Now... now we have Gregorius, a 24 year old shortstop and a ton of upside.

I am happy with this, although, I am very sad to see Shane Greene go.  He's a good kid, he has a ton of potential.

In the meantime... we have a new shortstop ladies and gentlemen... and his name is Didi!
