The Yankees have done a good job this offseason at checking off important items on their to-do list. They brought back Anthony Rizzo to fortify first base, and more importantly, they also convinced MVP Aaron Judge to return as well, thanks to a big nine-year contract. They took steps to improve their already-accomplished pitching staff as well, replacing Jameson Taillon with Carlos Rodón just last night, and to a less-important extent, swapping in old friend Tommy Kahnle for the likes of Aroldis Chapman, Miguel Castro, and Zack Britton in the bullpen.
One obvious void remains, however, and that is out in left field.
