As the trade deadline inches closer and closer it seems that Yankees fans have lost their collective minds. The rumor mill is always a dangerous place, now with social media it's downright ludicrous at times. The question that is being floated right now among baseball fans is whether the Yankees will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. That is a legit question for those who look at logic and reasoning, but that question is being dwarfed as many aren't asking that, but rather, what huge name the Yankees will bring in.
What has Brian Cashman done in his Yankee tenure, and Hal? if we are being fair, to suggest the Yankees would go and push all their chip into the middle of the table? Brian Cashman has shown the Yankee fan base exactly who he is over and over, yet many want to believe what could be, rather than what is. Cashman could have brought in Luis Castillo last season, instead he grabbed Frankie Montas. When Bryce Harper and Manny Machado were free agents, both expressed interest in playing in the pinstripes. Cashman didn't even sit down and talk to them. Those are the kind of Cashman moves that we should expect this time around as well.
