It&#8217;s easy to envision a scenario where Cabrera is a key piece of any team&#8217;s return in a deal for a superior third base option. That&#8217;s why his days in the Bronx are numbered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trading away Cabrera doesn&#8217;t make much sense unless he&#8217;s the only way to acquire a star third baseman.
