The Soto Sweepstakes have ended, and now the Yankees could focus on Plan B. Rumors were circulating for weeks saying this plan included names like SP Max Fried, SP Corbin Burnes, 1B Cody Bellinger, OF Teoscar Hernandez, and many more names. The Yankees have done their due diligence with these players but now have to make offers and official signings. Now is not the time to crawl into a cave and wait for chips to start falling.

Roll the end credits. The Yankees 2024 campaign will end in a 4-1 World Series defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. The team melted down when the lights were bright. This season summed up the entire Aaron Boone-Brian Cashman tenure in one week: a very talented yet terribly flawed fundamental team that is poorly managed.
