"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Credit where credit is due. All decent moves that will help. My big problem, personally, is trading flores. I am not sold on Wells, and flores was next in line. I saw him play this summer, and he can play. He also has that intangible that I like in players. We'll hear from him.
Overall, the bull pen was rebuilt on the fly, they now have a MLB third baseman, and better bench options than perazza. They still do not have a leadoff hitter, but I guess we can't ask for everything. I was hoping for a move or two from their thier MLB roster besides ozzy, as they have holes. I'd really love a better option at 2nd bas…
Oh - plus you can preserve Cabby with a simple option; you only have the option to DFA Slater to get him off the roster (temp move v. permanent cut).
I think Cashman did it that one year he sold on Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman (2016?) when the NYY's were out of it at the trade deadline. other than that one year it's not part of his history/MO,
If dominguez shows marked improvement against LHP - possible, if not particularly likely - then you don't need Slater. In that case then keep Cabby. It works!
This is interesting and yes problematic. From where I sit I would rather Cabby stay up and Slater go but that is not an option.
Cashman would have been better served to have done a better job parting with guys like Grisham who are worth more today then they will ever be worth again. But he has never been a great seller
The only problem with all this is going to be when Judge is activated (perhaps, as early as next week?) he is going to bump one of the 4 bench players off the roster (Caballero, I assume, to AAA, since he has 3 options - no flexibility in optoins remaining for Slater/Rosario/Goldy/Stanton ). Judge in RF allows Stanton to return to the lineup, at least, in the vacated dh spot. Judge as longer term dh means Stanton is limited to a bench/pinch hitting role.
As of Sept. 1 you open up a position player roster spot with expanded rosters (and also 1 for a pitcher), so Caballero could return to the Bronx as the #14 position player on 9/1. Severa…
