The New York Yankees have been busy this week, acquiring Alex Verdugo and Juan Soto to bolster their outfield. Not to mention Trent Grisham was a throw-in in the Soto trade, helping to shore up the roster’s depth. The Yankees, on the other hand, require more starting pitching, and they are scheduled to meet with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Monday afternoon, with Steinbrenner in attendance.
Brian Cashman, the general manager, is working on several fronts. He is said to be working on a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers to add two players to their 40-man roster. The Dodgers need to clear two spots for Shohei Ohtani and Joe Kelly, so they’ll send two players to the Yankees in exchange for a prospect outside of their top 40 who can join the Dodgers in the minors.
The Yankees are Waiting for the Players to Gain
There has been no further reporting on the players involved as of yet, but the Yankees’ 40-man roster is already full. Clayton Beeter, Yoendrys Gomez, Matt Krook, Nick Ramirez, Carlos Narvaez, Ben Rortvedt, Estevan Florial, Oscar Gonzalez, and Everson Pereira are among the players who could be replaced on the 40-man roster and sent back to the minors.
The Yankees should have no trouble finding room for two new players, particularly from the Dodgers’ farm system, which produces good minor-league prospects.
Cashman has had an extremely busy off-season, but he is far from finished. They need to add two more starting pitchers and bullpen help, implying that the next few weeks will be extremely busy.
