Francesa To Murti: Are Yankees Adding Too Many Players ‘Who Aren’t The Smartest’?

NEW YORK (WFAN) — Do the Yankees have a tendency to acquire players from bad teams who might not be the smartest athletes? That was a question WFAN’s Mike Francesa posed to Yankees beat reporter Sweeny Murti on Monday.

The question came in response to Starlin Castro getting picked off at third base in Sunday’s loss to the Red Sox. Francesa noted that Castro came from a Cubs team that didn’t win up until last year, Aaron Hicks came from Minnesota, Didi Gregorius came from Arizona, and Chase Headley came from San Diego.
