MLB's Winter Meetings have come and gone, and the New York Yankees didn't give their fans anything to get excited about, outside of some buzzy banter from general manager Brian Cashman.
The rest of the American League East, meanwhile, has been walking the walk, making Cashman's dormant checkbook appear even uglier. The Baltimore Orioles made a surprise splash and signed Pete Alonso. Prior to the Meetings, the Toronto Blue Jays had already landed Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce; the Boston Red Sox likewise bolstered their rotation with Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo.
And the Yankees?
