The Winter Meetings got off to a quiet, almost grouchy start for the Yankees. Brian Cashman met with the media on Monday evening sounding almost combative in his tone, dismissing rumors out of hand, preaching the Yankees’ newfound austerity. It appeared that the Bombers weren’t involved in much of anything worth noting.
That all changed in a flash however, as Ken Rosenthal dropped a bombshell: The Yankees, Mets, and Marlins have been working a three-team trade involving All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto. Andy Martino noted that the Yankees and Mets have discussed Noah Syndergaard in recent days, and Thor could be part of the package.
