Yanks acquire outfielders Ruth, DiMaggio, Maris, Sheffield, Matsui. Hicks?

Babe Ruth

• December 26, 1919: Purchased by the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox for $100,000.

Joe DiMaggio

• November 21, 1934: Traded by San Francisco (PCL) to the New York Yankees for players to be named later and cash. Doc Farrell refused to report to his new team on 1935. The New York Yankees sent Doc Farrell (December 19, 1934), Floyd Newkirk (December 19, 1934), Jimmy Densmore (minors) (December 19, 1934), Ted Norbert (minors) (December 19, 1934) and $5,000 (1935) to San Francisco (PCL) to complete the trade.

Roger Maris

• December 11, 1959: Traded by the Kansas City Athletics with Joe DeMaestri and Kent Hadley to the New York Yankees for Hank Bauer, Don Larsen, Norm Siebern and Marv Throneberry.

Brian McGuire Cashman born July 3, 1967.

Cashman, son of a family friend, hired as an intern by George Steinbrenner in 1986.

In February 1998 Cashman became senior vice president and general manager of the New York Yankees. Cashman is the longest serving current general manager.

Hideki Matsui

• December 19, 2002: Signed as a Free Agent with the New York Yankees.

Gary Sheffield

• December 19, 2003: Signed as a Free Agent with the New York Yankees.

Email message I sent to a couple of Yankee fans yesterday:

subject: Cashman's new look.

Have you seen Cashman in Boca?  I just saw him interviewed by Mad Dog.  At first I thought it was a joke.  I didn't even recognize him: glasses, heavier and ... a beard.

I couldn't believe that Russo didn't ask him if it meant that the Yankees had changed their policy on beards.  I hope so.  Maybe Cashman is targeting someone with a beard.


Aaron Hicks

• November 11, 2015: Traded by the Minnesota Twins to the New York Yankees for John Ryan Murphy.

OK, now it all makes sense.  Hicks has a beard.  Cashman continues to try to show what a genius he is, like that idiot Billy Beane who traded likely 2015 MVP Josh Donaldson after the 2014 season.  Two guys (Cashman and Beane), too full of themselves and no longer useful to their teams.

Yankee signings of Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann, Carlos Beltran were mistakes I opposed. Wednesday, October 7, 2015
