Everyone else is just moved up. <br /><br />The old team receives a "sandwich pick" between rounds 1 and 2, regardless of the pick that the signing team surrenders. So it really doesn't matter from the Yankees perspective that the White Sox pick was protected (it does from Chicago's perspective though! they only lose a 2nd round pick.)<br /><br /><br />Can't fault Robby for this one. Wish you the best and I hope you blow many a save against the yankees.Not Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-49213642108149728172014-12-09T09:53:56.363-05:002014-12-09T09:53:56.363-05:00The Yankees would not have to surrender a draft pi...The Yankees would not have to surrender a draft pick to sign Jon Lester because he was traded mid-season. If the Yankees signed Max Scherzer, they'd have to surrender their sole first round draft pick. They received a second round pick for D-Rob because the Chicago White Sox were a bottom ten team, and bottom ten teams' first round picks are protected.bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743328164374223216noreply@blogger.com
