New York Yankees are inarguably the most successful team in Major League Baseball. However, despite being a top team, the Yankees management lacks to establish a good relationship with their players. And the recent incident is a classic example of their policy.
Notably, earlier on Saturday, the New York Yankees agreed to a three-player trade with the Texas Rangers. And while agreeing to this deal with the Rangers, the Yankees management didn’t even think to inform their player. This trade comes just a few days ahead of the opening day of the new season.
