ESPN says the Mets had the best offseason in baseball. It would have been nice if the Amazins had added another bat, but we can’t really argue the A-grade they received.
The Worldwide Leader’s take on the Yankees is a bit more questionable. The Bronx Bombers earned an A-minus, tying the Phillies for the second-best offseason according to the rankings.
It may seem now like a foregone conclusion that (Aaron) Judge would end up back in pinstripes, but that was hardly a guarantee. Most players who reach free agency do end up signing with a new team, so credit general manager Brian Cashman and the Yankees for forging a deal with a player they had to have.
