Cash Sleeping In For This One?

I’ve heard in more than a few places that the Yankees would like to add an extra OF to this team – I guess to avoid having to play Womack or Crosby, and to keep Sierra from having to wear a glove.
And, then, Jose Cruz Jr. becomes available, and would come cheap.
So, what happens? The Red Sox grab Cruz, for two nobodies and they even get cash in the deal, which is just as good as money.
This is disappointing.
Assuming those minor leaguers had little worth… yeah, it’s a bit.
Cruz is no prize. His fielding stats are worse than Bernie’s. And there’s rumors that he’s hurt as well.
But, if Theo the God thinks he can play….doesn’t that mean he can? {wink}
meh… Better off keeping Bubba. Yanks don’t have much in the way of roster flexibility
