While the New York Yankees may be the team from the Big Apple that historically lands the biggest free agents and trade pieces, they reportedly did not make a formal offer to Cleveland before it traded Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets. ESPN's Buster Olney reported the news, noting "the Yankees never countered with a formal offer" even though they had discussions with Cleveland about the shortstop. Instead, they were focused on re-signing DJ LeMahieu, and Cleveland traded Lindor to the Mets.
There have been worse seasons in Yankees’ history. By win loss record, it’s not even the worst Yankees’ season in the past decade. However, the 2013 Yankees’ season was just the absolute pits.
As the Yankees were working to finalize their deal with LeMahieu, and hours before reports of their pact with Kluber, former general manager Jim Bowden said on MLB Network Radio that the Yankees had been in talks with the Reds about All-Star starting pitcher Luis Castillo. Per Bowden: “I know they have been in trade talks with the Reds regarding Luis Castillo, although I understand there hasn’t been recent talks. But they’ve been involved in talks with the Reds regarding him.
