Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has gained a bit of reputation for wheeling and dealing throughout his long tenure. His “Ninja Cash” nickname appeared especially appropriate when a handful of his under-the-radar acquisitions — notably Luke Voit and Gio Urshela — blossomed into productive big leaguers after donning the pinstripes.
Cashman was particularly active in the trade market this season, with over three dozen players exchanging teams. We’ve written plenty about the performances of the players acquired by the Yankees this season, so today I thought we’d take a look at how the players going in the other direction fared.
