The free agency hot stove is picking up, but it looks like the Yankees are content with playing it safe at the moment. However, Brian Cashman’s squad still has some major holes to fill, namely starting pitching, the bullpen and infield depth. It is likely that he will look to finesse the trade market to address some of these needs.
Meanwhile in Atlanta, all signs are pointing up. The Braves had a surprisingly solid 2018 season where they won the NL East and appear to be ahead of schedule. They even lured in one of the game’s top available free agents in Josh Donaldson to be their starting third baseman next year.
