The Yankees — thanks to uninspiring play and a self-imposed salary cap — have entered organizational limbo. They find themselves in the unenviable position of not knowing whether to buy or sell at the deadline with July 30th less than two weeks away. They probably aren’t close enough in the hunt for one or two additions to make a meaningful difference, but are treading water enough to justify — at least to themselves — holding onto players.
If they do decide to make a go of it this season, there are players on the market who could upgrade the current roster and still fit within the budget.
