They Yankees have shipped veteran slugger Gary Sheffield to the Detroit Tigers for a trio of young pitchers.
Sheffield, who was set to earn $13 million next year after having his option picked up by the Yankees last weekend, received a two-year, $28 million extension from the Tigers. The deal also includes a limited no-trade clause.
New York received three right-handers from Detroit, most notably 23-year-old Humberto Sanchez. The Yankees also added Kevin Whelan and Anthony Claggett, a pair of 22-year-old relievers.

Eh, it wasn't like they were planning on using Sheffield after they got Abreu (and they gave the Phillies a bunch of nothing for him so if you look at it that way it was kind of a wash).
Plus if you remember Sheffield threatened his own special brand of veto on any deal. It's not like there were a ton of options.
