New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has demonstrated frugality this offseason, acquiring only one new major-leaguer, which risks the team’s competitiveness in a strengthened AL East. Rivals like the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles have bolstered their rosters, while the reigning AL champions, the Toronto Blue Jays, have added key players despite losing Bo Bichette. The Yankees have traded for Ryan Weathers but neglected to improve their offense and bullpen, leaving them weaker than last season. With their pursuit of Cody Bellinger stalling, the Yankees face the possibility of falling to third or fourth place in their division.
