I’m following the updates from Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi over at FoxSports , and last night, the two reported a blockbuster deal centered around Curtis Granderson was in the works between the Yankees, Tigers and DiamondBacks. I believe this trade is near even, obviously depending on the prospects the Yankees would be getting from the D’Backs.But I was a little ticked off with the Tigers taking both lefties from the Yankees. I’d prefer if the Yankees could replace Coke or Dunn with a righty like David Robertson Granderson would be a great get for the Yankees. In Yankee Stadium, that equals a lot of cheapo-home runs.He’s got great speed.He’s got great defense in center field and would move Melky Cabrera’s powerful arm to left This article is also featured on lenNY's Yankees.
