It’s December 26th, and the Yankees still don’t have a clear-cut starting left fielder. In some respects, it still feels too early to be worried, but following a lockout in 2021, a pandemic in 2020, and several preceding seasons of glacial free agent markets, the 2022 offseason has moved at a furious pace, comparatively speaking. It’s become a matter of course to see a handful of top free agents from each class remain in negotiations will into the new year, sometimes even into spring training and the regular season. That won’t be the case this year, Carlos Correa drama aside.
O Yankees left fielder, where art thou?
