The New York Yankees are arguably one of the most iconic teams of the MLB. Although they showed good form in the 2021 regular season, they came up short in the postseason yet again, losing the AL Wildcard game to the Boston Red Sox.
Despite their recent setbacks, they continue to have huge ambitions for 2022. During a recent interaction, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman gave an optimistic take on their budget for the upcoming season.

However, their last World Series win came in 2009, which displays a few shortcomings in the team. In a bid to strengthen the roster, Cashman admitted he discussed the Yankees’ budget for next season which turned out to be positive.

He said, “We’ve had conversations about it. Do I have a set budget? No. But do I have what I feel some direction? Yes. And clearly it was mission accomplished from last year getting under the CBT. Well, it’s gonna have to be. We don’t have a lot of stuff coming off. Obviously, I have some latitude.”

Last season showed the Yankees need a shortstop and there are few better than Correa in that position today. With the Astros unable to tie him down to a new contract so far, it seems the Yankees are in prime position to snap up the 27-year-old.

However, they are also considering Los Angeles Dodgers star Corey Seager, who won the World Series in 2020. Should they fail in signing Correa, who has multiple suitors, they could try landing Seager, who is no stranger to producing excellent performances in the diamond.
