If you’re still in the minority that Yankees GM Brian Cashman doesn’t know what he’s doing in his stead, then I suggest you stop reading now.
That’s because you’re most likely a ‘prospect hugger,’ a person that became so jaded by the Yanks’ trading of one highly touted farmhand after the other in the late 90s and early 2000s, that you refuse to see the good in dealing from a position of strength, even today.
Sure, Cashman shipped No. 12 prospect Nick Solak to the Rays and No. 22 prospect Tyler Widener to the Diamondbacks as part of the three-team deal that netted the Yankees super utility man Brandon Drury.
