The American League East has had a different dynamic than usual over the past couple of seasons, what with baseball starting to show some financial restraint and all. Overall I’m not a fan of the lack of spending around the game, but as a fan of the Blue Jays, a team in the AL East, it’s been refreshing to see the Yankees hold back a bit from being a financial bully.
In fact, it wasn’t long ago that the Yankees looked like they were embarking on a rebuild of their own, and that was as recently as 2017.
