Somehow we’re already into the second week of 2022. As the temperatures plummet in the Northeast, there appears to be little chance of lockout talks thawing, at least not for the next two weeks. Just like the icy relations between union and owners, the Yankees remained frozen in place prior to the expiry of the last CBA, choosing not to reinforce a flawed roster.
Despite the group of impact starting pitchers signed in November, it never appeared the Yankees were interested in any of them. As Jake pointed out yesterday, New York may be content with the roster — in particular the rotation — as it stands, viewing it as good enough.
