With about six weeks to go until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the Yankees have accomplished their main goals of the offseason.
With about six weeks to go until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the Yankees have accomplished their main goals of the offseason: bringing back Aaron Judge and naming him captain, adding another frontline starter to the rotation with the signing of Carlos Rodon, and keeping Anthony Rizzo at first base.
The Rizzo deal was done in November and his presence at first base is about the only thing certain for the infield in The Bronx. Gleyber Torres is expected to get close to $10 million in arbitration and his name was involved in trade talks last season, and although the Yankees are confident DJ LeMahieu is healthy after a fracture near his right big toe robbed him of much of his effectiveness in the second half of he season, there is reason to be cautious about trading Torres.
But Kiner-Falefa was benched in the playoffs, as the Yankees turned to both Cabrera and another rookie, Oswald Peraza. The Yankees’ hierarchy, from Cashman, to managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner to Aaron Boone, have all spoken highly of Peraza and their other top prospect, Anthony Volpe.
