And the cycle just keeps continuing.
It's amazing that the Yankees can "rebuild" and land gems like Gleyber Torres and Aaron Hicks in deals, and find players like Miguel Andujar, Luis Severino, Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez in the draft or amateur free agency. Teams like the Twins should learn from the Yanks and see how they do it. Maybe they're not dedicating enough resources to certain markets or player development areas?
