New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has been very active on the trade market in recent seasons, re-shaping his club into a younger, cheaper future contender.
The question of which Yankees players had the most trade valuable would have been laughable a few years ago. Most of the aging dinosaurs with enormous contracts had negative trade value and the farm system was pretty much barren of elite talent.
Now things are considerably different. Cashman has accumulated one of the best collections of young talent in baseball. They are one of the clubs best positioned to land the big fish of the trade market this winter, from Chris Sale to Yasiel Puig, if they are so inclined.
