The holidays are a great time to shop and the Yankees have understood that this winter.
Eager to stay competitive, the Bronx Bombers got their hands on Carlos Rodon and managed to retain Aaron Judge for years to come.
But New York does not intend to stop.
As much on the side of Hal Steinbrenner as on that of Brian Cashman, everything is in place to make other acquisitions, if the situation requires it.
In an interview, General Manager Cashman said he had very good training on hand. However, he is aware that his team will have to settle a few small points to continue in the right direction.
One of those points is the situation in left field. The Yankees could move in this direction. Same thing for the bullpen.
At this point, it’s mostly about depth, but it’s still necessary to aspire to top honors.
Inspired by the Mets?
Even though they don’t play in the same league, the New York Mets’ recent acquisitions may have some influence on the decisions the Yankees make.
Obviously, he’s not a division rival, but Brian Cashman wants to keep it simple.
“Where are the places where we need to improve and how do we get there? “, he launched in scrum with the New York media earlier Wednesday.
No matter what trades the Yankees (and Mets) make between now and the start of the 2023 campaign, the four regular season meetings between these two teams will be interesting.
