1989
With Dave Winfield sidelined, the Yankees trade catcher Joel Skinner and a minor leaguer to the Indians for outfielder Mel Hall. Winfield will miss all of the 1989 season after undergoing back surgery. Hall will remain with the Bronx Bombers through the 1992 season, while future HOF’er Winfield will only play in 20 more games for the Yanks.
