This past Friday, the Yankees addressed three of their most pressing objectives this winter in one fell swoop. First, they brought back DJ LeMahieu on a six-year, $90 million deal. They promptly followed that up by adding Corey Kluber on a one-year, $11 million pact, bringing much needed help to a depleted rotation. Finally, they were able to achieve all of this while still staying below the $210 million CBT threshold, leaving them on pace to reset their luxury tax rate.
Even with this business in the books, the Yankees have a handful of needs that remain to be addressed if they are serious about contending for a title this season.
