Can you explain why the Yankees wouldn't dump someone like Wang for a higher EV player like Evan Longoria if you're looking for the most +EV (summation of outcomes, I mean we're not making a team or anything are we?) option, right? Or maybe the utility of the player might matter? IE Longoria in a non-trade universe has limited value to the Yankees as he's blocked and will be a 1B (now) or a corner outfielder (later). But whatever.

If you're trading for Longoria and plan on playing him at 1b, you calculate his value as a 1b. This should be obvious.

What kind of trade value could the Twins potentially get for Nathan?

A lot. Probably a core type player plus a second or third tier prospect.
