The Yankees, fresh off an underwhelming 2021 season, have made no secret that they are looking to improve prior to the 2022 campaign. That pursuit of talent includes, obviously, free agency, wherein New York is expected to be a major player for a top-of-the-market shortstop. Corey Seager and Carlos Correa seem to be the two names with the most traction at this point.
The trade market is another avenue Brian Cashman can (and probably will, in one form or another) explore to upgrade the Yankees roster. Shortstop is not the only position where the Yankees could use reinforcements.
