GM Brian Cashman says Yankees tried for Rutschman and Skubal before acquiring Garcia and Ramos

Brian Cashman said the Yankees had conversations with the Detroit Tigers about Tarik Skubal and the Baltimore Orioles about Adley Rutschman but could not find a match

Cashman’s reputation built over three decades is that he knows how to get to the finish line of a trade. Even when the walls are closing in. Even when the market doesn’t break right. He got on the board Sunday with García.
