The New York Yankees were linked to a number of star players this off-season before the MLB instituted a lockout. Ranging from Corey Seager to Justin Verlander, the Bombers have had opportunities to secure elite talent. They ultimately let them sign elsewhere due to lack of inactivity.
However, there are plenty of prospects after the lockout in which the Yankees can target, whether it be via trade or free agency. The Yankees desperately need to make several upgrades in the infield, specifically at shortstop and first base. With Gleyber Torres making the move to second base and Gio Urshela locked in at third base, for the time being, general manager Brian Cashman has his work cut out for him and reportedly has a bit of flexibility with his funding.
