With $86M Chapman deal, Yanks straddle present and future
OXON HILL, Md. — Boston’s Dave Dombrowski walked up to Brian Cashman outside the room where the winter meeting draft was about to start Thursday and gave the Yankees general manager a slap on the back.
“You’re so kind to stop by and say hello to us little guys,” the New York general manager teased.
Boston made the splashiest moves at the winter meetings, acquiring ace Chris Sale from the Chicago White Sox and setup man Tyler Thornburg from Milwaukee while reaching an agreement with free-agent first baseman Mitch Moreland.
