Eli's MLB Rumors

The Yankees have restocked their farm system over the past couple years, so making a trade for an above average player really wouldn't hurt them in the long run. While there are in-house options, there is no one that has the experience to play everyday. Here are a couple possible...

This trade doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. How much better is Orlando Cabrera than Brendan Harris?
Cabrera is a nice piece, but has never been the kind of bat that will have a huge impact on a team. Currently, he’s hitting .281/.318/.365. Does that wow anyone?...
