The Yankees' Forgotten Cy Young Trade | Sports News
Description
In 1984, the Yankees traded a 31-year-old first baseman to the White Sox for a player to be named later — who would become a Cy Young Award winner… before the Yankees ever got to see him reach that pinnacle. That player? Doug Drabek, a Texas-born pitcher drafted twice before his MLB debut, who spent time in the Yankees’ system before being traded to the Pirates, where he exploded onto the scene — winning the Cy Young in 1990 and nearly returning to the Bronx in free agency, only for the deal to fall through.
