The New York Yankees spent a lot of money during the offseason, and there is no way to deny that. The team is better than what they fielded in the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, as they were able to retain lineup stalwarts Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo and add pitchers Carlos Rodon and Tommy Kahnle to the mix.
While upgrades at third base and left field would have been nice, the Yankees do have some internal options to occupy those positions. To really have a chance against the elite, however, they ought to understand that they are better off not giving Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa regular playing time.
