Definately not. The Yanks needed to begin a youth movement, and it looked like they had a solid trio to build around. Why trade that for a $20m/year pitcher, even if that pitcher is a solid left handed ace? I still think that Hughes can develop into a solid #2 behind Chamberlain assuming both can stay healthy. As for Kennedy, the jury is still out on him. He's got the stuff, but can he learn how to use it at the ML level? I also think that Cabrera will re-find his spot on the team. If not, he still has some trade value to get us someone who will.
