We are now into the season’s final month and that means it is time for another edition of our MLBTR Archives series. September usually isn’t a good month for trade and free agent rumors, but the Yankees were unusually busy in September 2013, so there’s actually some stuff to cover here.
The 2013 Yankees were 72-63 on the morning of September 1st. They were eight games behind the Red Sox in the AL East but only 3.5 games behind the Rays for the second wildcard spot, so they had not yet been pushed out of the race. If nothing else, the Yankees played some meaningful games in September 2013.
