I understand Cashman’s point, given the fact that the payroll is 209 million dollars. If the Yankees get Sabathia will that fix their hitting woes? Quite franking, they need a pitcher and a hitter. In terms of trading,he will give them precious prospects(to the trading partner) and money to sign Sabathia and the Unkown hitter. Payroll will be what? Increased by maybe 15 million. And Cashman gets 4 draft picks, if they leave. All around , it is a lose/lose situation.Get a couple of expendable pieces to compete now, when that fact is dubious even when competing this year is dubious.
