The New York Yankees, as they are every year, are connected to nearly every top-tier free agent. Cody Bellinger? Check. Kyle Tucker? Check. Tatsuya Imai? Check. The list goes on and on.
But most years, those connections are just that; vague rumors or smokescreens as the club sits on its hands and cites budgetary restrictions as a reason why those moves weren't made. That's not to say that there aren't additions, but the number is not at all comparable to the amount of rumors that involve the team.
Nor do the moves made always square with the team's needs and mission statement.
