What is the future of the New York Yankees? New York is in an interesting place.
The Yankees were disappointing last season, winning just 82 games. New York has already made big changes this season by signing Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo and Trent Grisham, but more moves could be on the way. The Yankees are better on paper right now, but they need to expand their starting rotation. New York missed former Orix Buffaloes ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto and will now likely look for another star to pair with Gerrit Cole.One player listed as eligible is Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Corbin Burnes. It seems likely that he will be traded this offseason and the Yankees have been tabbed as the best landing spot for him according to Bleacher Report’s Zachary Rymer. “Best landing spot: New York Yankees,” Rymer said. “For any team potentially trading for Corbin Burnes, the next logical step would be to attempt to sign the 2021 (National League) Cy Young Award winner to an extension. But as Burnes suggested on the Foul Territory podcast last week, it would take something that would “absolutely blow his mind” to convince him to stop testing the free market after 2024.“It will probably deter some teams, but the Yankees shouldn’t be one of them. If they’re willing to make a trade for a superstar knowing he’s only guaranteed to last until next season, what about another? They are missing a million dollars in their offer for Yamamoto. » New York has already decimated its farm system this offseason, but if it really wants to compete for a World Series title in 2024, why not take another big step? The three-time All-Star could be available and New York should step in and make him one.
