Yankees 2021 Season Preview: Thairo Estrada
Photo by Mitchell Layton/ Estrada struggled in the shortened season and will have to earn his playing time in 2021. Things were looking up for Thairo Estrada following the 2017 season. The then 20-year-old was coming off a solid campaign with Double-A Trenton, and the Yankees added him to the 40-man roster in order to protect him in the Rule-5 draft. While not an elite infield prospect like Gleyber Torres, Estrada looked to be well on his way to contributing over the next few years with the big-league team.

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Last month’s events on the trade market made Brian Cashman’s MO very clear. In the aftermath of the DJ LeMahieu and Corey Kluber signings, the Yankees made it clear their offseason wasn’t finished. Even with “priority number-one” completed, the team immediately was the subject of trade rumors, particularly regarding Luis Castillo. Most of us scoffed when those rumors ultimately died down at the Reds’ suggestion that the Yankees would need to send Gleyber Torres in return, though Peter made an impassioned case that those...
