“Yankees’ Offseason Moves and Players to Watch: Pitching Prospects and Offensive Adjustments”

According to Dayn Perry of CBS Sports, the Yankees have been actively involved in the market for starting pitchers throughout the offseason. Although they successfully acquired Marcus Stroman, they missed out on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Despite this, they remain interested in adding another pitcher at the right price. Presently, they are monitoring Dylan Cease of the White Sox, who has been available for trade for some time without much progress. The Yankees have hesitated to include their top prospect Spencer Jones in any potential deal with Chicago, a trend seen in their negotiations across various trades. However, as the start of the regular season approaches, there may be one final opportunity to strike a deal.

As reported by Newsday, the Yankee lineup received a boost with the arrival of Juan Soto, but there are still areas in need of improvement. Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Volpe are two players drawing significant attention due to their struggles at the plate, despite being at different stages of their careers. Stanton, the experienced power hitter, has focused on improving his health and consistency by slimming down during the offseason. Meanwhile, Volpe, the young shortstop entering his second year, aims to capitalize on his strong spring training performance and cement his place in the starting lineup.
