If there is anything we know about New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, he often works in secret and comes up with such surprising dark horses in moves to improve the team. For example, when fans wanted him to target Manny Machado or Bryce Harper, he instead went after a relative unknown in DJ LeMahieu of the Colorado Rockies, and we all know how that turned out.
We all know that all his picks haven’t been good, Jacoby Ellsbury comes to mind, but more often than not,, Cashman chooses well. In this strange offseason,, after losing tons of money this season and owner Hal Steinbrenner wanting to stay under the luxury tax threshold, Cashman will have to be very creative.
