The New York Yankees are prepared to be aggressive at this year's trade deadline—at least, that's what general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters after the team designated veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment, Cashman was asked about how the front office plans to approach the trade deadline. Cashman gave a rather bold response, indicating the team would be actively seeking out upgrades and indicated the focus would be on pitching, as well as an infielder.
