Yankees Trades! They’re Making Moves; Not George Steinbrenner-era Moves, But Moves

 

The New York Yankees today made a couple of moves on the trade market, though neither is exciting the fan base to a great extent. The Yanks acquired center fielder Tim Locastro from the Arizona Diamondbacks (yes, you'll probably want to look him up on Baseball-Reference). 

He's batting .178 this season with a .220 slugging percentage and 5 stolen bases. According to a tweet by Jon Heyman, he's one of the fastest players in the game. Let's see what Yankee fans think of GM Brian Cashman's move.

Hitting .178. He'll fit right in.....Cashman again proving why he's the smartest GM in MLB....

Hey what's Usain Bolt doing these days??

Cashman fleeces another GM!!! How does he do it!?!?! What could the @RedSox possibly do to counter this!?!?!?!

The other move is even more underwhelming, as they acquired a rookie-baller from the Tampa Bay Rays as the 'player to be named later' from the Mike Ford trade last month. 

Yikes. This trade deadline season is going to be fun to watch in the Bronx.
