During a discussion on Twitter about the relative merits of Nick Swisher and Andre Ethier, I received the following tweet from @champ11228:
The Swisher trade was probably Cashman’s best move.
I asked my followers what they thought about that statement, and a number of other moves received votes:
1) Trading for Alex Rodriguez
In one comment made to the media yesterday, Brian Cashman managed to upset the Yankees’ crosstown rivals as well as a portion of his own fanbase. Marc Carig has more:
“He was abused,” Cashman said this afternoon. “Listen, I don’t know, the concern is based on the MRI. The use pattern was abusive, [...]

A number of interesting profiles of Zack Greinke have come out over the last few days, and Jon Heyman’s entry on the Brewers ace contained an interesting tidbit about Greinke’s flirtation with the Yankees:
Though he knew he wanted out of Kansas City, which has a promising future but looks like it [...]
Those of you who have been following the “Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks” saga closely know that owner James Dolan has jumped into the negotiations with both feet, and some sources are reporting that disgraced former GM Isiah Thomas has the owner’s ear. Ken Berger summarizes the impact that this has had on the [...]
Word came down early today from Joel Sherman that Kevin Millwood has apparently rejected the offer of a minor league deal from the Yankees.
Mr. Millwood has been a popular point of discussion here during TYA’s opening week: Mike kicked the tires on Millwood and Edwin Jackson and I posited that
Brian Cashman was recently interviewed by Larry Stone of the Seattle Times about what went down in the ill-fated Cliff Lee negotiations. Given how things have played out since, we now have some context to put those trade talks into. But as Brian lays out, we are are still left with many unanswered questions. He [...]
