Today we learned how Cashman created the roster spots to protect the RULE 5 Eligible Prospects.
The 1st move was this trade with the Phillies:
The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired minor leaguers INF T.J. Rumfield and LHP Joel Valdez from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for RHP Nick Nelson and C Donny Sands.

Yankees got a 6’4″ LHP who could be closer quality! Also a gigantic 6’5″ 220 pound LEFT HANDED HITTING 1B!
Then these moves happened:
Today, the Yankees have made the following roster moves:
•Added INF Oswaldo Cabrera, RHP Ron Marinaccio, OF Everson Pereira, RHP Stephen Ridings and LHP JP Sears to the Major League roster.
•Designated OF Clint Frazier, INF Rougned Odor and INF Tyler Wade for assignment.— New York Yankees (@Yankees) November 19, 2021
The Yankees have finally rid them selves of the CANCERS Tyler Wade and Brett Gardner (NOTE: Everything out of the Yankees front office continues to be they want nothing to do with Gardner anymore!)! WOW! What an amazing day!
WHY Rougned ODOR THOUGH? Why rid yourself of all INF bench presence?
It means a few things. 1. Cashman is fixing the bench issues! He wants more depth there and is looking outside the organization for that. 2. The Yankees are 100% signing SS Corey Seager and very soon (Sources within BorasCorp I have had since they represented me when I was drafted tell me Corey Seager is focused on joining the Yankees. Its where he wants to go.). No other reason to force DJ to the bench.
Also it means the Yankees will be looking for another INF in FA. Kyle Seager who is very, VERY likely. Also Johan Camargo is a major option:
Now go get me Johan Camargo for super utility infielder @Yankees

Camargo is a Switch Hitter with great pop who has literally played ALL INF and OF positions. I still feel Kyle Seager more likely.
If the Yankees have this INF next year they will have more depth then they have since the dynasty of the late 90’s:
- 1B Matt Olson or Anthony Rizzo /DJ LeMahieu
- 2B Gleyber Torres / DJ LeMahieu
- SS Corey Seager/Gio Urshela/Gleyber Torres
- 3B Kyle Seager/Gio Urshela/DJ LeMahieu
Talk about unbelievable depth. Talk about being able to mix and match and keep everyone healthy! WOW!
Now if the Yankees do grab Johan Camargo and add such a utility player for BOTH the INF and OF then that’s all the better. The bench would then look like this:
- INF/OF Johan Camargo
- INF DJ LeMahieu
- INF Gio Urshela
- C Kyle Higashioka
That would be BY FAR the deepest since the dynasty years as well. We would finally be looking at a dynasty type team. Loaded everywhere!
Lets hope the Yankees make the right move from here!
