Jacoby Ellsbury? Greg Bird? We never truly discovered their full capabilities in New York Yankees pinstripes. The Bronx Bombers executed roster moves Wednesday evening and perhaps they should have been sent out of town sooner.
Of course, it had to be Ellsbury and Bird to make room for the 40-man roster. This is all about the “business of baseball.”
More importantly, this is another baseball decision with the upcoming Rule 5 Draft that will be held Dec. 12 during the Winter Meetings in San Diego.
Backtrack a bit. You can hardly recall that one game either played an impact in a Yankees win.
