The 2018 season is over. Small success as the YANKEES reached the playoffs. Big failure as the YANKEES lost the ALDS and did not go as far into the playoffs as they did in 2017. So on to 2019.
The YANKEES had far too many injuries in 2018. Some of the injuries kept players out not for days, but for weeks and months, and some for the season and into the coming 2019 season.
The YANKEES front office has some work to do this winter and the hot stove should be ready to start getting very warm. The YANKEE primary need appears to be a front line starting pitcher and a good left handed bat. Trading away Torres or Andujar would be a major boondoggle and a blunder that the team may not be able to overcome. The YANKEES will not start the season with Montgomery and Gregorius, both out with major injuries. The YANKEES have already resigned Bret Gardner for 2019 on a one season contract deal. I cannot go into who the YANKEES should or should not sign here for proprietary reasons, I will leave that to all you brilliant WIN METHOD posters with all the common sense in the world. I will say that if things go right there will be one giant acquisition that should help the team enormously.
Don't forget, this team despite the countless injuries, won 100 games in 2018 and where eliminated from the playoffs by a team that won 108 games in 2018, defeated the YANKEES and then defeated the Houston Astros who won 103 games in 2018, and then went on to win the World Series easily trouncing the inferior league champion LA Dodgers.
Keep an eye on the hot stove and lets see what happens. I don't touch or go near the hot stove, what happens this winter is up to Brian Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner, and the Yankee hierarchy. Lets hope for the best and LETS GO YANKEES.
