NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Brian Cashman isn’t messing around.
The Yankees general manager pulled off another big move on Tuesday, sending veteran third baseman Chase Headley and reliever Bryan Mitchell to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Jabari Blash, Joel Sherman of the New York Post first reported.
The most impressive part of the deal isn’t Blash’s 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame. It’s the fact that Cashman got the Padres to take all of Headley’s $13 million salary in 2018.
