Earlier in the week, we learned from trusted MLB insider Jeff Passan that the Philadelphia Phillies were shopping lefty reliever Matt Strahm in trade talks. That should've been a clear message for the New York Yankees to pick up the phone.
As much as fans love Tim Hill and are a bit bullish on Brent Headrick, there is no reason to stand pat when an opportunity like this arises. At least you'd think ...
For as quickly as Strahm was made available, he was just as quickly traded. The Yankees bite the dust again after the Kansas City Royals stepped in front and bolstered their bullpen without hesitation.
