Follow Us
While most teams have been on a relentless spending spree, New York Yankees are yet to make a big-money signing. Believed to be saving it up for the top free agents, it all comes down to those still left in the market.
World Series 2021 fame, Freddie Freeman is yet to sign a contract, and the Yankees might focus on him over others. Notably, the contract Freeman is expecting should not be a problem for the richest franchise in baseball.

After his astonishing outing in the Fall Series 2021, guiding the Atlanta Braves to the title, the team is not ready to give up on their ace performer. However, if the New York Yankees are genuinely interested in signing Freeman, they can win the race with their monetary advantages, as the 32-year-old is expecting a reasonable contract.

Jon Heyman revealed, ”Word is Freeman had been seeking about $180M for 6 years. Seems reasonable to me. If that’s it, Braves should just pay him.”
Freeman had earlier expressed his desire to continue with the Braves. If the franchisee pays him what he expects, the Yankees would have to offer him more than what he wants. After losing out on most of their prospects in the off-season, the Yankees will give it their all to secure Freeman now.
New York Yankees should aim for the big guns left
Sadly, the Yankees’ potential shortstop interest, Corey Seager, is off the charts after the Rangers signed him on an insane contract. Albeit, many top free agents are still on the market, specifically Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa.

Acquiring Correa would certainly strengthen their shortstop position, while Freddie Freeman will lead from the front. If the Yankees can gain both these players for the 2022 season, it will be a game-changer for the franchise. Do you think the Yankees can save their season and make the necessary signings before the lockout?
