Offseason for the New York Yankees historically means throwing around massive amounts of money on big-name free agents. This offseason, they would do well to avoid that.
Free agent names for starting pitchers have been tossed around, including Alex Cobb, Yu Darvish and Lance Lynn. One more has been added as a person of interest for the Yankees’ rotation: former Cy Young award winner Jake Arrieta.
On the surface, that big name stands out above the rest. With Darvish’s recent stumble in the postseason, his value seemed to have diminish for New York.
