After missing the playoffs for only the second time since 1995, the New York Yankees and GM Brian Cashman head into the offseason with multiple problems to deal with.
Mariano Rivera’s retirement has left the team without a closer; as many as three-fifths of the team’s starting rotation may need to be replaced; and Robinson Cano, the team’s best player, needs to be re-signed.
The team is looking to stay under the $189 million luxury tax threshold in 2014, something that would be significantly easier to do if Alex Rodriguez‘s 211-game suspension is upheld—and his $25 million salary wiped off the team’s luxury tax number—but there’s no timetable for a resolution on A-Rod’s appeal of that suspension.
One thing is for sure, however, and it’s that the Yankees are going to be far more active this winter than they have been over the past few years.
This will be updated on a regular basis—often multiple times per day—so while the post date will always show as October 31, simply click to the next slide to see the latest rumors and rumblings about the Bronx Bombers as they put together their roster for the 2014 season.
