While the cross-town rival Mets are busy signing free agents and making high-profile trade acquisitions, the Yankees are managing themselves in a different way this offseason after spending big bucks on Gerrit Cole last year. That means they seem unlikely to sign a Trevor Bauer, a Liam Hendriks, or even a Brad Hand.
They do, however, need to address a bullpen that was middle-of-the-pack and far from the deep and talented units from 2017-19. One could argue that the Yankees were even worse than they appeared, as their relievers had the 11th-worst FIP among all 30 teams at 4.
