In the 2021 season, the New York Yankees looked to improve their team. They re-signed DJ LeMahieu and brought back Brett Gardner for yet another year. They also hired 2-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber and traded for Jameson Taillon to revamp the pitching rotation. They also made several minor league deals to accomplish their goals. None of the changes fared well. Corey Kluber and Aaron Hicks were out most of the year that saw the Yankees reach the Wild Card game, only to lose it to the Red Sox.
Now, as we approach the 2022 season, the Yankees were mostly inactive in the first part of the postseason.
