Yankees’ Brian Cashman Offers Trade Update After Brutal Injury

Yankees re-sign GM Brian Cashman to four-year contract - Sportsnet.ca

The New York Yankees have seen a lot of roster overhaul since making the World Series last year, but that’s unlikely to be enough for a return trip to the Fall Classic.

With persistent championship-or-bust expectations, the Yankees are virtually guaranteed to try to improve their roster before the trade deadline. And one area in need of a boost has been unaddressed since well before opening day.

After losing longtime second baseman Gleyber Torres in free agency, the Yankees started the season with Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the keystone and a rotating cast of utility options filling in at third base. Since then, the team has added veteran DJ LeMahieu to that mix, but it lost its primary hot corner option when Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a brutal ankle injury that likely ended his season.

Now the Yankees are left with an even bigger hole at third and many fans expect the team to pursue a significant trade addition there, such as Nolan Arenado.

Speaking at a recent charity event, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman provided a vague update on a potential trade following Cabrera’s injury.

“It’s hard to make improvements this part of the season,” Cashman said when asked about replacing Cabrera with an external addition, per the New York Post. “We’ve got what we’ve got. We’ll assess it and move forward with opportunities as they start to present themselves at whatever positions they do.”

Cashman might have hesitated to be more specific as acknowledging the real need for an upgrade would only provide leverage to potential trading partners. But his admission that right now would be a hard time to upgrade rings true, as any trade is much more likely to cross the finish line just before the midseason deadline hits.

As the Yankees continue their march toward another World Series appearance, fans can hold out hope for some kind of upgrade. Even if Cashman won’t offer any specifics.
