YES | Jack Curry: During an interview with the Yankees General Manager, Jack Curry asked Brian Cashman whether the Yankees will continue making the kinds of “splashy moves” that they’re known for by signing either Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, or both. The Bombers’ GM balked at the notion, saying: “I disagree with the Yankees’ DNA being splashy moves.”
Although he acknowledged that the Yankees had done those types of moves in the “80s and 70s,” and more recently when they acquired Giancarlo Stanton, he stated: “Under Hal Steinbrenner’s leadership, I’d like to think that we’re making smart, savvy moves that hopefully pay big dividends.
