There was a time in the 2020-21 offseason that Yankees fans could have accused team management of passivity. That time has come and gone. The team has since re-signed DJ LeMahieu, and picked up two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber (coincidentally “The Machine” and the “Klubot”).
Nonetheless, this offseason hardly lives up to Bronxian standards of decadence. LeMahieu’s deal doesn’t even crack the $100 million mark.
