A 1:1 deal achieves nothing.

That’s not necessarily true. Dominguez has significantly more control and is a lot cheaper. That said I’d rather keep Robert for now.

And it’s 2:1 deal with the Sox sending another out.

It achieves getting a player that could contribute to the next possible winning team, which is the whole point. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t see a scenario in which the Yankees would do this.

And we waste 5 years trying to get the other 9 hitters around him.

The rebuild needs foundational pieces, but with the state of the org this scenario seems likely. We’d be looking to trade him for a haul by the time they are decent again.
