When Yankees GM Brian Cashman confirmed that Gleyber Torres would transition to the everyday second base role, it rocketed shortstop to the top of the Yankees’ priority list of needs this offseason.

However, the Yankees’ disinterest in the players already signed (as well as multiple reports) indicate that it is increasingly unlikely they choose this route of buying the best talent.
