A new elimination of New York Yankees extended the title drought of the most winning franchise in the MLB.
Some moves have already been seen, but Bronx team management is expected to make other important decisions heading into the next season of the Big leagues.
Aaron boone He has led the Yankees to the postseason in his four years as manager, but remains indebted to the World Series presence. Boone has no contract for 2022 and this week they let go of several members of his coaching staff. Owner Hal Steinbrenner has said he would like to keep him on the bench, but his job is not safe. If not Boone, who will they bring in to coach the Yankees?
Boone’s continuity isn’t the only one under evaluation. Veteran Brett Gardner may have already played his last game with the Yankees, who have the option not to use him in 2022 and save $ 2.3 million. Not to mention that they must decide whether to make an offer to first baseman Anthony Rizzo and starter Corey Kluber, who will be free agents.
All are calling for the departure of Dominican catcher Gary Sánchez, who had another bad year at the stake and behind the plate. The Yankees could be looking for a trade for a level catcher, like Willson Contreras, and they could also shed other pieces in search of arms and a batter to add depth to the lineup. Joey Gallo is also in the midst of trade rumors.
In New York they need a senior pitcher to join Gerrit Cole in the rotation and everyone is wondering if they will go for Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw or Robbie Ray. Also, patience with Venezuelan Gleyber Torres, who has been unable to handle the pressure at shortstop, ran out. That forces to go to the market in search of a defender of this position and several of the best are available, will the Yankees bring Carlos Correa, Trevor Story? What aspect will you prioritize financially?
The slugger had his best offensive year of the past four seasons in 2021 because he stayed healthy. An extension had been out of the question due to his physical problems but this time the decision cannot be postponed: Judge is in his final year of refereeing and was the leader of both the dugout and the club’s offensive statistics.
