Especially this offseason, in which the Yankees brought in last season’s NL MVP, Giancarlo Stanton along with Brandon Drury, both through trades.
On top of that, the Yanks have unloaded salary through the trading of players such as Chase Headley, Bryan Mitchell, Starlin Castro and Jabari Blash, who they recently acquired through trade.
With this all being said, general manager Brian Cashman seems to be reinventing himself. Instead of going about the improvement of his team through free agency, which the Yankees were notorious for, he is now showing his negotiation abilities as well as his all-around baseball knowledge.
