Now that the charmed quartet is officially gone once Derek Jeter retires this fall, we are seeing the sad remnants of Cashman's shortcomings.
Brett Gardner, raking at the dish, has unquestionably been the Bombers' MVP, especially considering Masahiro Tanaka's recent absence. But a huge test awaits.
The job he's doing in his seventh year is perhaps the best of his career. Joe Girardi has managed to keep this undermanned team on the edge of contention, with an assist from his GM.
Brett Gardner had a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning for one of his three hits, helping the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 8-7 on Sunday night.
With Boomer and Craig back where they belong, all is once again right in the world...
Derek Jeter had a two-run double, Mark Teixeira hit a solo homer and New York's bullpen worked 4 1-3 solid innings, leading the Yankees to a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Anthony Ranaudo pitched six solid innings in his major league debut and Dustin Pedroia drove in two runs as the Boston Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night.
The Yankees missed an opportunity to stock their farm system at last season's trade deadline. One year later, the decision not to trade Robinson Cano is biting the Bombers hard.
The last-place Red Sox may debut newcomers Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig on Friday night at home, where they'll face one former teammate in New York Yankees starter Chris Capuano and possibly another in shortstop Stephen Drew.
"Bald Vinny" Milano says Derek Jeter also deserves a street named after him in the Bronx. And he's not just selling the idea -- he's selling the shirt.
"I think we're going to compete. I think we're improved," Brian Cashman said after Thursday's trade deadline. "We're going to find out if it's enough or not."
A ticket stub signed by Lou Gehrig on July 4, 1939 -- the day he retired from baseball -- has sold at auction for $95,600.
Well, you don't see this every day -- the Yankees and Red Sox making a trade.
As far as professional sports is concerned, New York is the biggest stage in the country and arguably on the planet. Stars tend to want to play here, even despite the pressure that comes with the territory.
Will the Yanks shake things up? Maybe, but don't expect a blockbuster. So far, GM Brian Cashman -- no stranger to wheeling and dealing -- hasn't been linked to anyone of the big-splash variety.
