SNY | Andy Martino: At this point, most fans are aware of the Yankees’ needs heading into the next season. They do not have a full-time shortstop on the major league roster and Luke Voit’s health issues prevent him from being a reliable everyday first baseman. Because the team chose to stand pat prior to the lockout, the front office may face a mad scramble to fill out their roster between the ratification of the new CBA and the start of the season.
The most frequently reported routes for the Yankees to fill those areas involve a stopgap shortstop while waiting for prospects to graduate, and a potential trade for All-Star A’s first baseman Matt Olson.
