David Cone Trades and Transactions

The David Cone trades and transactions seen below include all known instances where David Cone has been involved in a trade or transaction of any type as it relates to baseball.

"The Yankees' David Cone, who could have played linebacker, is what I call a junkyard dog because he'll knock you out of the box without blinking. He's got a better-than-average fastball and a real hard slider. Those two pitches help set up one of the best change-ups in either league." - Umpire Durwood Merrill in You're Out and You're Ugly Too (1998)
