The free agency of Bryce Harper and Manny Machado presents the Yankees with a rare opportunity to add a pair of generational talents to the fold in a single offseason. All 30 teams have this same opportunity, but for the Yankees, doing so would allow them to run a virtual All-Star team out onto the field every single day.
This wouldn’t be a first for the Bombers. In fact, their last championship team in 2009 was an actual All-Star team. All eight starting position players, their principal designated hitter, three members of the rotation, and three key relievers had been selected as All-Stars at some point during their careers.
