The New York Yankees entered this offseason with one main goal; find somebody stupid enough to take Sonny Gray off our hands. Second to that goal, the Yankees are looking to acquire top-notch starting pitchers.
While some, myself included, might say we need to address the team’s inability to score with runners in scoring position, we can all agree that the starting rotation needs a huge upgrade.
Cashman made a splash early by trading for the Seattle Mariners’ James Paxton but hasn’t really made waves since.
In the time between the Paxton trade and now, highly desired lefty Patrick Corbin got overpaid by the Washington Nationals and set the market for free agent pitchers extremely high.
