When the Seattle Mariners acquired Leonys Martin from the Texas Rangers earlier in the week, the door on a New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners trade involving Brett Gardner seemingly closed.
However, theres a famous Alexander Graham Bell quote that reads ‘when one door closes, another one opens’, and that’s exactly what happened for Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees.
According to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports, the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees have engaged in preliminary discussions on a possible trade that would send Brett Gardner to the ‘Rock and Roll Capital of the World’ in exchange for starting pitching.
