Cashman made it clear in his comments that he believes the talent on the Yankees is capable of better performance.but simply put, the team barely managed to finish above .500, and changes will be made.
Juan Soto, 25, a three-time All-Star, would be a good start, even if the price is high. The same goes for the acquisition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the star Nippon Professional Baseball pitcher who has been coveted by the Yankees.
