Yankees hire Thrift as senior VP of baseball operations
Syd Thrift, who built the Pirates from last place to a contender, was hired by the New York Yankees as senior vice president for baseball operations. Thrift, 60, led Pittsburgh from 57-104 in 1985 to 85-75 last season, acquiring players like Gott, Drabek, Bonilla, Dunne, Van Slyke and LaValliere while reorganizing the farm system. He said he was fired after a power struggle and expects no major clashes with George Steinbrenner, who grants Thrift and GM Bob Quinn freedom to make deals while stepping back himself.
