Part 3/8:
Emphasizing Depth and Player Development
A significant point of discussion is the sheer need to balance star power with depth. Recent trades have significantly weakened the Yankees' farm system, compelling them to replenish their talent pool through shrewd signings or trades. The notion of employing younger players like Ben Rice, Jason Dominguez, and Caleb Durban might not guarantee immediate success, but it can set the stage for long-term growth.
The failure to recognize the issues within the team's performance throughout the previous season also poses a danger. The Yankees cannot afford to view their problems as isolated incidents; they need to embrace a holistic approach towards roster construction and development.
