The Yankees & The Trade Deadline
Photo: USA Today |
“The youthful aspect of the 2017 Yankees makes it more difficult to make educated guesses about how players will perform, because the sample size of their collective experience at the Major League level is still much too small. But by the deadline, the Yankees will have gotten an ample opportunity to gauge which players appear destined to stick in the Majors, which may become trade assets, and which developing minor leaguers look poised to take a leap.
At that point, MLB clubs will be on the lookout for pieces to add, trades to make, deals to cut, and there are few GMs in the game today more adept at striking at the right opportunity than Brian Cashman. …One of the five reasons that Rosenthal argued for this year’s deadline zaniness is the fact that there are a number of teams who appear to be prime contenders for under-performing and selling. Among those teams are the Tigers, Royals, Rays, Orioles, Blue Jays, Pirates and Diamondbacks — just to name a few — most of which possess a number of intriguing impact players the Yankees could pursue.”
That would really show the fans, the new kids coming up this year and those coming up behind them that this team is all about winning even as it reloads. And if that causes the team’s farm system to drop a few spots from its #1 ranking (or #2, depending which list you look at), so be it. Hal can still stay on schedule to meet his precious competitive balance tax threshold next year.
