I wish I were there that day when GM Brian Cashman convinced owner Hal Steinbrenner to enter a rebuild. I grew tired of the Yankees old and outdated way of buying veteran all-stars to win titles. They always seemed to get burned at the end of those massive contracts they dished out.
An opportunity out of defeat shined during the summer of 2016. The Yankees for the first time in the history of my existence (note: I was born in 1993) decided to sell at the trade deadline! I’m a very competitive person who hates losing, but I was so excited for this rebuild.
