No patience in waiting for the farm system to produce or not enough talent in the farm system? Puttin together a very talented OF though.

"Farm system? Never heard of it..." -Brian Cashman
Actually it's funny because they lose a pick signing Beltran so they lose 3 picks (McCann, Beltran, Ellsbury) and gain 2 back (Granderson, Cano).
Beltran is an interesting signing for them. They definitely did NOT need another OF, but I imagine they are still planning to sign some pitchers. Beltran is as good as it gets in the postseason, so for the Yanks sake I hope they make it within the next 3 years or else this signing is not their best.

This is what happens when the farm doesn't produce.
Although I'm ok with this signing, letting Cano go and McCann.
I don't like the ellsbury signing though.

Is this not the absolute craziest week of free agent signings...EVER? I've been glued to MLBTR all damn week, lol.
I think you will warm up to the Ellsbury signing when you watch him over a full season.
Is it the farm system not producing or the Yankee's scouting department needing an overhaul?

Ellsbury, McCann, Beltran, Kuroda...and I'd be surprised if they were done. Another SP and someone in the bullpen maybe?
Sure are putting together the talent to get back to October in a hurry.

Gardner will probably be traded since I dont see them being able to unload Soriano

Yeah. I think that its whats gonna happen. Either trade Gardner or try and convince Soriano to play full time DH. I think this was an counter move to Cano leaving. I bet they wouldn't have gone for Beltran without Cano leaving. I think that they are gonna like Kelly Johnson man 2nd which is fine with me in the 9 spot.
Sori is only owed 5m from the Yankees this season, the Cubs cover the rest.
With that said I see no reason for them wanting to trade Soriano. He thrived in his return to NY.
Gardner carries much more value on the market anyway with his speed, leadoff ability, elite defense, affordable, etc.
The first 3 are injury risks.
