The luxury-tax threshold leaves the Yankees enough room for one more player
The Yankees’ roster seems like it’s all but complete. I still think a certain bald, left-handed outfielder will be a Yankee in 2021, but aside from his return, what you see right now is what the Opening Day roster will be.
The AL East is looking like a three-team race in 2021
The Yankees can no longer only worry about the Rays in the AL East. The division is now a three-team race.
Avoiding the luxury-tax threshold means the roster is about complete
The Yankees are going to try to win in 2021 with nearly the same team from 2020. It’s a wild, ill-advised and irresponsible plan for a team in a supposed championship window, but it’s the Yankees’ plan.

When will the Yankees re-sign the team's best player?
DJ LeMahieu is still a free agent and the Yankees still haven’t improved their roster or rotation.
The two-time Cy Young winner is worth the gamble
Once the New Year arrives, the countdown to pitchers and catchers is on. If it remains as scheduled, there’s not much time for the Yankees to improve their roster, which they drastically need to.
The right-hander has made five starts since the end of 2018
How did we get here? Here being Luis Severino having pitched 20 1/3 innings for the Yankees since October 2018. Let’s go through it all.
