Ranking Brian Cashman’s best and worst Yankees trades

Last week I asked Pinstripe Alley readers whether the Yankees should buy or sell at the deadline. Just about everyone agreed that the Yankees should fully commit to the mini-rebuild and sell at the deadline with the hopes of possibly being competitive next year. I tend to agree, but we’ll have to see what Brian Cashman has up his sleeve over the next two or so weeks.

On that note, here is this week’s prompt:

Rank Brian Cashman’s best and worst Yankees trades
