Over the course of the offseason the Yankees have promoted six pitchers and outfielder Estevan Florial to the 40-man roster, while signing ace Gerrit Cole. Compared to last winter when the Yankees covered multiple holes on the active roster, this offseason hasn't been all that busy.
It’s important to remember, however, since the pivot point at 2016 trade deadline, Brian Cashman has raised the overall talent level of this club, making it increasingly difficult to designate any player for assignment, as no one seems expendable anymore. So even though the Yankees have only made one impact move this offseason, the truth is the organization remains stacked.
