New York Yankees offseason spending ranks 2nd behind Nationals

Don’t let the lack of Bryce Harper or Manny Machado fool you, folks. Believe it or not, the New York Yankees have spent quite a bit of money this offseason.

In fact, per Dayn Perry of CBS Sports, the Yankees are second only to the Washington Nationals in terms of money spent. New York, despite a seemingly quiet offseason, has spent $124.555 million. The key names added and/or retained include Adam Ottavino, J.A. Happ, Zach Britton, and DJ LeMahieu, among others.

By comparison, the Nationals have spent an astounding $189 million, with hurler Patrick Corbin and second baseman Brian Dozier headlining a busy winter.
