20 years ago today, good friend of the blog, David Cone was traded to the Yankees from the Toronto Blue Jays.
From the New York Times 7/29/95:
It was a day of blockbuster deals for New York’s baseball teams yesterday as the Yankees braced for a pennant race and the Mets prepared for the future. The Yankees acquired last season’s American League Cy Young Award winner, David Cone, from Toronto for three minor league pitchers, then sent the disgruntled slugger Danny Tartabull to Oakland for Ruben Sierra.
