Brian Cashman has faith in his team. He proved it at the July 31st trading deadline when he didn’t make a move, and he’ll likely do the same as the August 31st waiver trade deadline passes.
He told LoHud’s Brian Heyman that the Yankees will probably stand pat, “I think…what you see is what you’re going to get,” Cahman said. He’s already expressed that he’s happy with his team, and he feels that the Yankees have a talented enough roster to make a run in October.
On top of all that, the Yankees farm system is radiating talent. Prospects like Jesus Montero and Manny Banuelos could prove their worth as September call-ups.
They have been utilizing a six-man rotation and will have a log-jam at DH when A-Rod returns at third base. They’re in a heated race with Boston for the division title, and fans are finding faith in Cashman’s Frankenstein rotation.
I don’t see the Yankees making a move, but if they do, these five guys have already cleared waivers. And to make things really interesting…a couple of them have already donned the infamous pinstripes.
