When the Yankees season ended much earlier than expected, I wrote that their focus this offseason has to be improving their starting pitching. That still remains true. Brian Cashman needs to bring in at least two new starting pitchers this offseason, either by trade, free agency, or even resorting to performing a starting pitcher dance.
Starting pitching is the focal point of the winter because that was the weakest link of the team this past season. While the offense could definitely be improved upon and stands to be less frustrating, it was still one of the best in the league.
