New York Yankees: Brian Cashman Used Machado/Harper As Smoke Screen In Free Agency

The superstar free agent pool has dwindled to the likes of pitcher Dallas Keuchel, as the Manny Machado and Bryce Harper sweepstakes have finally come to an end. The New York Yankees were reportedly interested in signing one of the generational talents to a monster deal, but at the end of the day, it was all smoke and mirrors.

General manager Brian Cashman maneuvered his way into securing two solid veterans for a fraction of the price set for Machado or Harper. The two players he signed, Troy Tulowitzki and Dj LeMahieu, offer great value in the short term.
