According to a New York Post article, Cashman believes Bader is
Quote:
one of the elite center field defenders in the game.
“I didn’t acquire Montas so I could move Monty,” Cashman said after the deadline had passed. “Me and my staff entered the trade acquisition market of exports and imports trying to figure out the overall ecosystem of that roster and what fits best with a plan for October and how could we best be flying high at the best of our abilities when it counts the most in October and what gives us the most amount of quality choices? That’s what went into every single decision we made.
So we’re excited about what Bader can bring down the line for us. We have to wait on it, we get that. But it came at the expense of a quality choice we already had.

It will allow the Yankees to play Judge exclusively in right field for the playoffs and Bader in center which means Hicks probably won't be on the playoff roster.
