This isnt just about the trades, it is about the draft and the INTL signings. This past yrs draft, Cashman took Chamberlain, Betances, Melancon outside of the first round because of their injury history or because they were pricing themselves out of the market. Last yr it was Austin Jackson in the 8th round. Then you have the loaded DSL that the yankees have had the past 2 yrs. Ivan Nova, Angel Reyes, Zoilo Almonte and many more. Then the over the top signing of Montero and the INTL signing of Tabata. This team is not going to be the past 5 yrs yankees anymore. They are finally putting some of that money into prospects, something that George never did.
