As New York Yankees managing partner Hal Steinbrenner said during his postseason interview, the organization lost a monstrous amount of money due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The loss of revenue could impact how the Yankees approach this upcoming off-season, and it is no surprise that they feel confident in the group of players they currently have. Of course, their starting pitching is set to take a massive blow with James Paxton, Masahiro Tanaka, and JA Happ, all hitting free agency.
Their removal from the team will open up a solid amount of money to allocate elsewhere, but several positions still remain a challenge, including catcher and inconsistent defensive performances in the infield, notably at shortstop.
