Monday’s offday was anything but an offday for Brian Cashman. As is normal for most general managers leading up the trade deadline, Cashman made a few roster moves on Monday, but none were all that spectacular. The most notable one was acquiring Lance Lynn from the Twins in exchange for Tyler Austin and Luis Rojo.
The move came as a bit of a surprise since the Yankees already shored up the rotation with the addition of J.A. Happ. Yet it was the trade sending Adam Warren to the Mariners that gave insight into this move.
