As you probably know, during last years Trade Deadline; the St. Louis Cardinals dealt minor leaguer Luke Voit in exchange for two players including Chasen Shreve; who was working on a mediocre season as a reliever for the Yankees.
Luke Voit played a few games with the Yankees Triple-A affiliate, then got called up, to take injury-prone first baseman’s Greg Bird’s spot on the roster. Voit got to business quickly and played a huge role in helping the Yankees secure a Wild Card spot, hitting .333 with a 1.095 OPS, and also mashing 14 home runs.
