The Sheff trade had more to do with him being a cancer in the clubhouse than anything else. The Abreu acquisition made parting with Sheff the obvious choice. The Yankees knew by the end of the season that Gary was eventually going to be dealt. It had nothing to do with his talent because obviously it is still there.
