Anderson was traded to the Rockies for Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen.
Pomeranz is the better of the two, but he has yet to pan out in the big leagues. Of course, a move from Colorado to Oakland can help that.
The Yankees probably couldn't quite match the offer - they can find a Jensen in their system - everyone has that - but even if they had a pitcher like Pomeranz (high upside, yet to succeed in the majors), it would be hard for them to trade him.
Anderson himself is a bit of a lottery ticket. He is only 25 years old and has already pitched in parts of five big league seasons. However, he has thrown only 163 total innings the last three seasons, compiling a 4.25 ERA (92 ERA +)
