For a team that won 92 games and reached the postseason while competing in a very tough division in 2021, the Yankees, somewhat paradoxically, entered this past offseason with many needs to address. There were several individual positions and even more overall aspects of gameplay on a team-wide level that were in need of upgrades. Although the acquisition of Josh Donaldson certainly raised a few questions, it would be very hard to argue that the Yankees are not an improved team with him, in several regards.
