Fans are looking at it the wrong way. The Yankees should absolutely trade prospect Philip Hughes to the A's for Barry Zito, a move A's GM Billy Beane would make without hesitation.
The Yankees sign Zito to a six year contract, and then, in six years, after Hughes is eligible for arbitration and/or free agency and the A's want to get rid of him, the Yankees trade their top 2012 prospect to the A's for Hughes, whom they sign to a six year contract, etc., etc., etc.
