There are fewer than four weeks to go before the start of Spring Training, and so far the Yankees have done a pretty good job accomplishing their goals. They re-signed CC Sabathia to a reasonable contract, salary dumped Chase Headley, and are in position to get under the $197M luxury tax threshold. And they managed to pick up Giancarlo Stanton along the way. Not a bad winter’s work.
The Yankees still have some work to do before camp begins, however. At least it feels that way. Second and third bases are open, and the team has been trying to add another high-end starter for so long that it almost feels like they consider it a necessity.
