The Yankees knew what they wanted in the Hot Stove League and made sure they got it. Key Moves:
Free Agents Lost: Francisco Arcia(C), Randall Delgado(RHP), Jake Barrett(RHP), Billy Burns(OF), Greg Bird(1B), Jacoby Ellsbury(OF), Edwin Encarnacion(DH), Austin Romine(C), Dellin Betances(RHP), Didi Gregorius(SS).
Free Agents Signed: Gerrit Cole(RHP- 9 yrs/$324 M), Brett Gardner(OF- re-signed).
Trades: Acquired Cristian Perez(IF) from the Royals for Chance Adams(RHP), Acquired James Nelson(IF) from the Marlins for Stephen Tarpley(LHP). Acquired bonus pool money for Nestor Cortes(LHP).
Minor League Free Agents: Zack Granite(OF), Adam Warren(RHP), Rosell Herrera(SS), Nick Tropeano(RHP), Chris Iannetta(C), Luis Avilan(LHP), Kaleb Cowart(3B), Josh Thole(C), David Hale(RHP), Dan Otero(RHP), Tony Zych(RHP), Chad Bettis(RHP).
Retired: Kendrys Morales(DH).
Suspended: Domingo German(RHP- 80 games).
Summary: The Yankees got their man in Gerrit Cole, but the remainder of the pitching rotation looks shaky, at least for this season. There are a couple of interesting prospects coming along in Deivi Garcia and Clarke Schmidt.
Grade: B+
