The New York Yankees are being aggressive this winter on the trade market and that mindset and aggression has already led to four separate trades for Brian Cashman and the Bronx Bombers. The Yankees are far from done there, according to reports anyway, and the names of Ivan Nova, Andrew Miller and Brett Gardner have been thrown around basically all winter long. While trading Nova makes sense and while trading Miller does not, well unless they are simply blown away, the idea of trading Gardner makes a whole lot of sense for the New York Yankees.
Gardner didn't have a spectacular season in 2015 and his second half was absolutely horrible but the Yankees hitting coach Alan Cockrell blamed a wrist injury for his struggles. Gardner did have three cortisone shots for the wrist injury, the maximum one player is allowed in a season, but there is a shocking trend that shows that, wrist or not, Gardner was probably going to struggle in the second half anyway and will likely struggle again in 2016's second half.
