The trade deadline has
Come and gone. The smoke
Of the firesale has cleared.
And it’s hard to believe:
“Pinstripes” and “seller”
In the same sentence.
But for once, the Yankees
Thought of the future,
Not some gaudy names
Soon for the pasture.
At least that’s what I
Tell myself, as I
See this season
Put away, on the shelf.
