If you have been following the way Yankees have been operating this offseason, this should not come as any surprise.

The price tag for Mat Latos was higher than they were willing to spend. The Yankees, according to an official familiar with the Padres' talks, said the Yankees were not going to give up their top-tier guys (Jesus Montero, Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances, etc) for the 24-year-old Latos.

Latos is now a Red for what is considered a large haul.
