Patrick Corbin is headed to the Washington Nationals because the Yankees did not feel he was worth six years and $141 million. You know what? That’s okay. It’s still very early in the offseason. The 2018 Winter Meetings are here, so there’s still time for the Yankees to shock us all with a shocking trade or FA signing. Furthermore, the Yankees don’t need Patrick Corbin to make the playoffs. Honestly, they probably don’t even need Manny Machado, Bryce Harper or another pitcher.
This is not to say they shouldn’t sign Manny Machado, Bryce Harper, and trade for Corey Kluber.
