The Yankees have re-signed Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo, and they have brought in free agents Tommy Kahnle and Carlos Rodón. That is, so far, a very solid offseason. However, it’s still an incomplete one because they haven’t addressed the primary issue: offense.
Rizzo and Judge were not really additions, and Kahnle and Rodón are pitchers. The offense is the same unit that struggled to get anything much going since late July/early August, minus Andrew Benintendi.
We applaud the Yankees for going out of their way to build a super rotation, we really do. They apparently decided, with Rodón’s addition, that the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) wasn’t going to be much of an issue when it comes to building the roster.
