Uh oh. Hear that rustling in the bushes? Someone in the know must've claimed the New York Yankees have strong potential contributors down on the farm. He must be carrying water for Big Yankee instead of telling a plainly obvious truth.
Prior to ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast between the Mets and Giants, Jeff Passan discussed several upper-crust trade deadline targets, claiming the Yankees could be involved if names like Mackenzie Gore of the Nationals or Joe Ryan of the Twins happened to become available.
The way he described their potential to disrupt things got the angry corners of the internet's attention; Passan believes the Yankees' farm is strong enough to "get anyone they want" with the right package.
