The New York Yankees settled with the majority of players heading toward arbitration before Friday’s deadline. Only Gleyber Torres and Jimmy Cordero failed to sign new contracts, but the two sides aren’t far apart, and they will likely find a solution before hearings.
While contracts are being ironed out, general manager Brian Cashman can get back to the trade market or at least scour it for opportunities. The Yankees have been trying to offload several players for the past few months, notably Aaron Hicks and Josh Donaldson, but they’ve failed to find any takers.
