The New York Yankees will need to allocate some of their funds toward the starting pitching rotation this upcoming off-season, along with finding a premier solution at shortstop until prospect Anthony Volpe is ready for the big leagues.
However, pitching has been a weakness for the Yankees the past few seasons, despite spending $324 million on Gerrit Cole over nine years. After signing Corey Kluber to a one-year, $11 million deal and trading for Jameson Taillon, the Bombers are once again in a position where they need to supplement losses. Taillon will hopefully remain healthy next year and provide a bit more consistency, but Kluber will hit the free-agent market without much resistance.
