Xavier Edwards has seemingly been on the New York Yankees' radar for some time. Do they trade for him this winter?

The Yankees are better off figuring out Luis Garcia Jr.'s role for 2027 instead of trading him right away.

Seiya Suzuki is a free agent whom the Yankees should absolutely consider signing.

Isaac Paredes is an interesting trade target for the New York Yankees as they aim to improve at third base.

The New York Yankees could look to trade for the Houston Astros' veteran third baseman to solve their woes at the hot corner.

The Ryan McMahon trade is emblematic of the Yankees' frequent mistakes in recent years.

While the New York Yankees need to get creative with roster upgrades, they can't make this mistake again.

New York Yankees must figure out whether to bring back second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. in free agency or look elsewhere.

Despite his disappointing 2026 season, there is a case for the Yankees to give Jazz Chisholm Jr. another shot.

Anthony Volpe managed to do enough down the stretch to earn another chance with the Yankees.

The Yankees have a lot of holes to fill if they want to finally win a World Series. Which one is the biggest?

After not trading for a catcher at the deadline, the Yankees should turn to the free agent market for help behind the plate.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman has one free agent he can't afford to let walk, and another whose departure won't upset many fans.

Of the Yankees' upcoming free-agent class, one veteran needs to return to the Bronx while another can be shown the door.

The New York Yankees need to bring back Matt Blake after the 2026 season.

Matt Blake's contract is up after this season, and the New Yankees need to do everything within their power to keep him.

These four Yankees may not be on the team's roster in 2027.

New York Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon can't hit, and there's no point in using him if he can't field.

Ryan McMahon has been an active detriment to the Yankees all year and has continued to falter at the worst possible time.

Can the New York Yankees finally solve Drew Rasmussen in the ALDS?

The New York Yankees need to overcome one of the most notorious "Yankee killers" in recent memory to beat the Tampa Bay Rays.

Trent Grisham has been a liability in center field for quite some time, and it was on display in the New York Yankees' 8-2 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series.

If the New York Yankees want to make a deep playoff run, they will have to make a tough decision regarding Trent Grisham.
