It’s been a slow start to the Hot Stove season thus far. However, with the Winter Meetings set to begin on Dec 8 in San Diego, brace yourself for chatter and rumors-galore about the Yankees being connected to any number of players via trades and free agency.
Although the Yanks made their first acquisition of the winter last week, signing 27-year-old Zack Granite to a minor league deal, the outfielder from Staten Island, NY, did get an invite to spring training and a June 15 opt-out clause.
So as we wait for general manager Brian Cashman to pull the trigger on more impactful players (starting pitchers) — for now we’ll have to settle for links to relief pitchers.
