Very busy day for Hipster Cash yesterday. He started off by clearing a 40-man spot and kept the trade momentum rolling with an out-of-nowhere swap with the Twins that netted him at least his Chris Young replacement. Here’s a full recap of yesterday’s activities.
– The first trade was a straight up roster dump. Cash said so himself. The Yanks sent utility man Jose Pirela to the Padres for 20-year-old right-hander Ronald Herrera. The move got them down to 38 on the 40-man roster and gave them a potential sleeper pitching prospect.
