The Yankees’ best hope to revive their lineup with one move is probably Cody Bellinger.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Yankees higher-ups finally broke their month of silence, which apparently served as a properly protracted moment of silence for a dreadful season that deserves a proper burial.
Steinbrenner declined to get into any real specifics beyond a greater interest in bunting, but word here is the Yankees are investigating the top of the hitting market. Which is exactly what they need after a season in which they registered the lowest batting average of every team currently trying . The Yankees did try for Soto back at the deadline, but ran into the kind of difficulty they may encounter again, which is that it’s just not in the Padres’ DNA to sell. Their ticket sales are huge again for 2024, their nucleus is still star-studded even with five free-agent pitchers and most folks believe that while they’ll listen, they won’t pull the trigger on a Soto trade this winter.
