Yankees youth movement is now a historic one

Is another young All-Star Bronx bound?

I expect Cashman to use the potential for this young team as leverage when negotiating with the 2018 free agent class. However, a trade can also be made during the regular season if the price is right.

Orioles shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, and Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will be interested in playing for the Yankees for sure. They haven’t won a championship, they want big money and the Yankees can afford them.

One could argue why that might not be the best move for the Yankees in the long-run, but it could happen. Personally, I’d instead offer an extension to Judge, Severino, Green, Gregorius and

Sanchez before signing or acquiring another expensive All-Star.

A more compelling potential acquisition would be 2013 All-Star lefty pitcher Patrick Corbin of the Diamondbacks. Recently, Corbin made some comments to the delight of Yankees fans expressing his love for the pinstripes.

The 28-year-old pitcher would fit nicely into the Yanks’ youth movement plans. And if he was on the roster now, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale argues he would be the Yankees ace.

For now, the Yanks have a competitive roster filled with talent and youth. Sure, an addition or two could help them get past the other competitive AL teams. But without those additions, this is still a team that could win the World Series.
