Little did Yankees fans know at the time that Cashman wouldn't end up doing anything about that clear issue once the trade deadline rolled around. When the dust had settled on trade deadline day, and the Yankees were left without an upgrade at catcher, Cashman hilariously/maddeningly provided a quote that went directly against his June 9 declaration. "We do believe we have quality catching," Cashman pronounced on Aug. 3. Brian Cashman on June 9th on the catching position: "It's an issue, clearly." Brian Cashman on trade deadline day: “We do believe we have quality catching.”
