Ranking Brian Cashman's November Trade/Acquisition History


Brian Cashman wasted no time preparing for the 2016 season as the Yankees GM pulled off two trades and counting this week down in Boca Raton. Cashman started the trade season off by sending infielder Jose Pirela to the San Diego Padres for, who I am comparing to Luis Severino just as an FYI, 20-year old Ronald Herrera but Cashman didn't stop there. Just hours later Cashman was back at it again sending his backup catcher John Ryan Murphy to the Minnesota Twins for outfielder Aaron Hicks. The November trade is not uncommon for Cashman, he's had a lot of them actually in his tenure as the Yankees GM, and I will do my best to rank them here. If you disagree please leave a comment below in our comments section.

2008 - Wilson Betemit, Jeff Marquex and Jhonny Nunez to the Chicago White Sox for Nick Swisher and Kanekoa Teixeira.

2014 - The Justin Wilson for Francisco Cervelli trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates definitely benefited both teams as both teams traded from a position of depth and power to fill a need. The way trades are designed to be.

2007 - Cashman sent Gary Sheffield to the Detroit Tigers for Humberto Sanchez, Anthony Claggett and Kevin Whelan. None of these prospects ever made the roster but Sheffield wasn't conspiring with Kenny Lofton about the "racist" Joe Torre either. Win/win.

2001- Cashman signs Melky Cabrera as a 16-year old out of Venezuela.

John Ryan Murphy and Jose Pirela for Aaron Hicks and Ronald Herrera respectively? TBA
