After a slow start to the offseason, the pace has picked up in the last two weeks. The 2021 major league roster has come into focus with recent additions and trades, but the team might not be done yet. The Yankees still have some financial flexibility under the luxury tax and a log jam of prospects that could help them swing another trade.
After adding DJ LeMahieu, Corey Kluber, Jameson Taillon, and Darren O’Day over the last two weeks, the Yankees’ roster has experienced some significant turnover. Prior to those deals, the Yankees’ 40-man roster was full, and after the Taillon trade, they were bumping up against the luxury tax threshold. Adam Ottavino was traded to Boston to free up financial space, and soon after, O’Day entered the mix.
