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.

After one of the most highly anticipated Yankee season’s in recent memory, the Yankees find themselves in a crucial offseason looking to improve from their World Series collapse. It was the team’s first World Series appearance since 2009, and it ended with Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” playing while the Los Angeles celebrated a championship win at Yankees Stadium.

An October win is a win. The Yankees pull out a close one against the Kansas City Royals in game one of the ALDS to give them a 1-0 series lead. Game One had five lead changes, which set a record for most in a baseball postseason game.
