Yankees receive:

Torontos 25th through 30th round picks in Amateur draft.
To be approved by Toronto and the TC
The Yankees make this deal to continue to stockpile youth. Most of the players as well as the picks are lottery tickets at best, but Shields and Peavy weren't going to do much of anything for me next year. Would have been great to lose some of the salary, but paying all of it allows a slightly better return.
