The most disappointing trade deadline acquisitions of the Brian Cashman era

When the Yankees acquired Andrew Heaney at the trade deadline this past July, they clearly hoped that the veteran lefty would at least be able to eat some innings at the back of the rotation, and they hoped that Matt Blake and the coaching staff might be able to unlock some untapped potential on the mound and turn him into a weapon down the stretch. Instead, Heaney turned out to be a massive disappointment — he was relegated to the bullpen after just five starts, and had not pitched in 10 days when he was opted to the Florida Complex League on Wednesday afternoon.
