What Will Be the New York Yankees Next Big Move?

With the new collective bargaining agreement in place, the New York Yankees are reportedly poised to make a big splash on the free agent market. Which player will be first to don the pinstripes?

According to Jon Heyman of Today’s Knuckleball, the New York Yankees were waiting to see the finalized details of the new collective bargaining agreement before making any big signings this winter. With a new labor pact in place as of Wednesday night, Heyman calls them a team “worth watching.”

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman usually is pretty good at operating under the radar. In the past, many of his biggest signings and trades have come completely out of nowhere, with no real information getting out until sometimes minutes before they are finalized.

This offseason, though, rumors have been flying constantly about the team being connected to various free agents. Whether that’s by design or not on Cashman’s part is hard to say, but it definitely seems new.

That said, it feels like we have a good idea who the organization has been looking at and the areas of their roster they are looking to upgrade, more so than in previous offseasons. Many reputable sources have confirmed the team is looking to add a closer, a DH, and a starting pitcher by the time the winter is done.

So now that the Yankees know exactly how much money to spend before bumping up against the luxury tax, which player are they going to bring on board first?
