So how can we possibly grade the offseason moves thus far with a level head? It’s not going to be easy, but it’s worth discussing this with our emotions put on the backburner for the moment. And with so many other teams willing to push the envelope from a financial perspective, every time the Yankees pass on someone notable it feels like a failure. The urgency just feels like it’s not there, which is where much of the frustration is derived from.

This is a $6 billion franchise with a terrible lack of success since their last World Series victory in 2009. Then again, despite the apparent deficiencies on the Yankees’ roster, many have forgotten that team-wide regressions were the true culprit and Cashman didn’t really need to make any blockbuster moves … even though a number of them were well within reach.


With plentiful needs prior to the 2022 MLB season, general manager Brian Cashman had his plan thrown a bit off course due to the MLB lockout, but that’s no legitimate excuse since every other team operated under the same restraints. But do we really think that’s going to go as smoothly as it should? Maybe by the time you’re reading this, the team will have signed Aaron Judge to a contract extension and we can change our tune a bit. It’s hard to please this fanbase, but when you’re a $6 billion franchise with sky-high expectations and charge spectators the most money imaginable for an experience at the ballpark, this is what happens.
