Cabrera is now blocked by Granderson. It makes no sense to keep Cabrera who can be an everyday player elsewhere if you aren't going to play him everyday. The market, in this case the Braves had a need, the Yankees needed a stronger, deeper rotation, and they got it by unloading an extra outfielder.
This trade makes total sense for New York....not as much, but still makes sense for Atlanta.
I hope Cano and Melky can work out a long distance relationship.
poor yankees. We will take javy off your hands and give you angel pagan! Great 4th OF and great guy.

I'm thinking it's the classic example of the fan overestimating the talent of the players he cheers for.
