New York Yankees: What they need to have a realistic shot at a World Series in 2020

The New York Yankees made improvements this offseason, but will they be enough to lead them to a World Series in 2020? That’s the question we are all asking ourselves.

Investing $324 million in Gerrit Cole was a significant first step in bolstering the starting pitching unit, and knowing that Luis Severino and James Paxton would be featuring right behind Cole was a grand reality. However, that reality has quickly dissipated into a puddle of injury and concern.

Severino has officially been ruled out for the entire 2020 season after succumbing to Tommy John surgery, and Paxton is expected to return to full form in early-May.
