NEW YORK -- The Yankees latest dynasty ended seven years ago. Any pretense of trying to win now stopped Monday.Outfielder Carlos Beltran and pitcher Ivan Nova followed Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller out of the Bronx. Instead of contending for their accustomed playoff spot and a 28th World Series title, the Yankees will fight to avoid their first losing season since 1992.After peaking at 56-52 last week, the Yankees dropped back to .500 with four straight losses, including a three-game weekend sweep by last-place Tampa Bay.A true playoff contender, you know, not a playoff pretender, wouldnt do that, general manager Brian Cashman said bluntly before the Yankees 6-5, 10-inning win at the Mets in the Subway Series opener.And so, the Yankees will resemble other rebuilding teams for the immediate future. In exchange for four veterans, New York received 10 prospects -- three of them highly rated -- plus pitcher Adam Warren and two players to be named.Were kind of in unfamiliar territory with the Yankees, said first baseman Mark Teixeira, whose eight-year contract ends this year. You cant just win through free agency. Thats not the way it works anymore.Beltran, at age 39 the top player in the Yankees lackluster offense, was sent to Texas for right-hander Dillon Tate, the fourth overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft, and right-handers Nick Green and Erik Swanson.This organization has never been this, Beltran said. But its the new baseball, man. Its the new generation. Organizations no longer are making dumb decisions.Nova, who like Beltran is eligible for free agency after the World Series, was sent to Pittsburgh for two players to be named. While 53-39 for the Yankees, Nova was inconsistent since his return from Tommy John surgery.Its a new chapter, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Theres going to be some young guys that get a chance, and Im excited about that.Cashman made the moves with managements go-ahead just ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline.I believe that you can win with the players in that room, Girardi insisted. Some people are probably going to think that Im delusional, but I mean, theres no reason to put the uniform on if you dont believe that you can win.Fans will closely follow the restocked farm system.Tate was the top pitcher selected in the 2015 draft. Outfielder Clint Frazier, the fifth overall pick in the 2013 draft, was acquired from Cleveland on Sunday in the trade for Miller. Venezuelan shortstop Gleyber Torres was obtained from the Chicago Cubs last week in the Chapman deal.New York has played one postseason game since 2012, losing to Houston in last years AL wild-card matchup. Patching the roster with free agents in the post-Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera era was not working.Brian and his staff and the organization is trying to put this team in a good position to have a long run of not just playing well, but winning championships, Girardi said. Its not about being ... a second wild-card team and winning one game or losing one. We want to win championships.Tate, 22, received a $4.2 million signing bonus from the Rangers and is 3-3 with a 5.12 ERA this year in 16 starts and one relief appearance for Class A Hickory in the South Atlantic League.Green was taken in the seventh round of the 2014 draft and Swanson in the eighth. New York agreed to send Texas $3,708,333 on Dec. 31 to offset part of the just over $5 million remaining in Beltrans $15 million salary.A 39-year-old switch-hitter, Beltran led the Yankees with a .304 batting average, 22 homers and 64 RBI.I think as a player, you know that this moment could happen. But when it happens, it hits you, Beltran said.Nova, 7-6 with a 4.90 ERA in 15 starts and six relief appearances, thought at 3:55 p.m. OK, Im not going to get traded. Im going to stay here.He was running on a treadmill in the weight room when Yanks bullpen catcher Ramon Rodriguez told him about the trade. He rejoins former Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli with Pirates.We grew up in this organization, the pitcher said.Game notesReliever Tyler Clippard rejoined the Yankees, his original team, a day after he was acquired from Arizona for minor league right-hander Vicente Campos. Clippard said he understands why Chapman and Miller were prized: Thats what the game is now.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday.RIO DE JANEIRO -- For beating Allyson Felix, Shaunae Miller gets a gold medal. Maybe they should give her a cape, too.It took a head-first dive, Superwoman-style, for Miller to spring an Olympic upset Monday over Americas top female sprinter in the 400 meters and deny her a record fifth gold medal.Miller, a 22-year-old from the Bahamas who finished second to Felix at the world championships last year, took an early lead, then held off her charge along the straightaway. Neck-and-neck with two steps to go, Miller sprawled, dove and tumbled across the line to win by .07 seconds.Now, instead of a coronation for Felix, its a celebration for Miller, whose dive will go down as one of the most dramatic images weve seen at these, or any, Olympics.This is the moment I have been waiting for, Miller said. I just gave it my all.And she didnt even get the evenings biggest roars. Those went to pole vaulter Thiago Braz da Silva, who gave Brazil its first medal in track and field by setting an Olympic record (6.03 meters) to upset world-record holder and defending champion Renaud Lavillenie of France.But outside of Brazil, theyll be talking about The Dive.Starting from Lane 7, Miller expanded the lag, instead of getting gobbled up the way most women do when Felix is on the track.Stride for stride they ran down the last 100 meters, until the last few steps. Felix, classically trained by Bobby Kersee, made a textbook lean into the finish line. Miller tried something else. The dive is something no coach would ever teach. Then again, amazing things happen with a gold medal on the line.I was just focused on myself, Felix said when asked about the dive. I didnt really have too many thoughts on it.As Miller lay on her back, gasping for breath and maybe even stunned herself at what shed done, Felix sat on the ground stone-faced. Ten seconds passed. Then 20.While Miller jumped with her arms flailing forward, the rules say the win is determined by which athlete has any part of her torso cross the line first. The photo finish showed the negative image of Millers sprawled-out body. Her shoulder barely beat Felix to the line.ddddddddddddThe result popped up on the scoreboard: Miller won in 49.44 seconds. The bronze went to Jamaicas Shericka Jackson.What a finish. What a race.It marked quite a disappointment for Felix, whose season just didnt turn out the way she planned it.I dont think I ever quite had a year this tough, Felix said, as her eyes welled with tears.She was one of those rare athletes who had the cachet to get the Olympics to change the schedule. After winning the world championship at 400 meters last year, she put the 200-400 double in her sights for the Olympics. The schedule as it was originally written made it impossible: The 200 heats were scheduled for the same evening as the 400 final.Felix asked, and she received: The 200 heats were moved to the morning to give Americas best female sprinter a chance for the two-fer.But she never got to the starting line in the 200. She landed awkwardly on a medicine ball while doing core work in the gym during the spring and her ankle swelled up like a balloon.Suddenly, what once was a quest for two golds transformed into a struggle to simply make the Olympic team. She did in the 400 but not in the 200. Then, Miller showed up and handed Felix her third Olympic disappointment. This silver goes with the pair she won in 2004 and 2008 in the 200.Even so, she became the most decorated U.S. female track star, with seven overall medals, including three in the relays.But this was Millers night.The flagbearer for her country in the opening ceremonies, Miller came into the games 5 for 5 in her races this season, including Diamond League meets in Shanghai, Eugene and London.Now shes 6 for 6.A wild finish to a crazy night.It began with a downpour that stopped action in all the events and put the DJ to work, playing Singing In The Rain, Umbrella, and I Cant Stand the Rain, among other fare, while the fans waited out the delay.Those who stayed got their moneys worth.Miller got a few scratches and scrapes, but she also got the gold.
