The Yankees and Yu Darvish have been continuously connected this offseason. It remains unclear if they will make a serious push to sign the right-hander, but if they do, the team will undoubtedly be better in the short term. For all his value, though, signing Darvish comes with quite a few red flags. Thus, not signing him might be a better play for the Yankees beyond 2018.
Rumors about Darvish to the Yankees have been sneaking into the news for about a month now. Just before Christmas, Ken Rosenthal first hinted at New York as a possible destination for Darvish.
