Bronx Bomber Ball

Late Wednesday night, the Indians acquired OF Jay Bruce from the Mets for pitching prospect Ryder Ryan, along with taking on Bruce’s entire salary. It was also reported that the Yankees offered two better prospects than Ryan, but wanted the Mets to pay some of Bruce’s salary. The Mets chose the Indians offer. However, the significance of this is that the Yankees have realized that they are in dire need of another bat. As the BBB’s Andrew Natalizio  wrote the other day , they forget how to hit when runners are on base. It’s becoming increasingly troublesome. The Yanks are obviously trying to solve this by adding more offense, however, and Bruce wasn’t their only option. Who else could they target? Photo Credit: Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images

The New York Yankees enter this year’s trade deadline as careful buyers , as stated by general manager Brian Cashman. At just 3.5 games out of the AL East, the Yankees have been in the mix all season long in a year that might have been thought of as a rebuilding year entering 2017. However, the Yankees appear to be looking to make a postseason push, and with a couple holes on their roster, we will first take a look at what they can do to improve their infield at this year’s trade deadline.

As we all know, baseball is a business. Players on every team come and go, whether it’s from free agency, a trade or retirement. Every once in a while I like to look up former Yankee players and seeing how they’re doing and I would like to share that information with my fellow readers.
