The New York Yankees stole the offseason from day one when Brian Cashman pulled off one of those “how did he do that?” trades with the hapless Marlins, adding Giancarlo Stanton to an already explosive lineup.
Amidst a conundrum of rumors tying the Yankees to Shohei Ohtani (signed with the Angels), Gerrit Cole (traded to the Astros), Manny Machado (still wallowing in the depths of Camden Yards), and now, Yu Darvish (still trying to steal a five-year deal from someone), the Yankees sit here today with none of these players on their roster to begin the 2018 season.
