Right now, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman looks to be a genius.
He had arguably the best July of any baseball executive. Cashman traded several of the team’s talented veterans for a haul of prospects that now give New York one of baseball’s best minor league systems.
He was able to get Alex Rodriguez to retire and Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann to accept lesser roles all to make way for a group of talented young players who have the Yankees back into playoff contention.
Did you know, though, that more young players will continue to have an impact as we head into September?
