The Yankees have been among baseball’s biggest spenders so far this offseason. Dropping a record amount of money on Aaron Judge will do that. Adding Carlos Rodon to the tune of $162 million doesn’t hurt, either.
We’ve seen reports that the Bronx Bombers aren’t done spending before Opening Day. One would imagine they’d like to find another player to join Judge and Harrison Bader in the outfield. But if Brian Cashman doesn’t get his preferred option, he’s got New York prepared with a backup plan.
While the free-agent market for outfielders is quite bare with everyday options, there are still intriguing players who could be available via trade.
