The 2012-13 offseason will not go down as one of the more memorable winters in the history of the New York Yankees.
There haven’t been any major trades or major signings. In fact, the biggest piece of news involving the Yankees this winter was the news of another hip surgery for Alex Rodriguez. Beyond that, many of the bolder headlines they’ve occupied have concerned mere rumors that ended up going nowhere.
It’s almost over now. Pitchers and catchers report in just a few weeks’ time, and then it’s on to the exhibition season and Opening Day. Whether it’s followed by a good season or a bad season, the winter will soon be ancient history.
If you’re looking for a keepsake, here’s a condensed look at the Yankees’ offseason as it unfolded, complete with judgments for both their moves and their non-moves.
