Story summary

The New York Yankees are in a strong position for the upcoming offseason because they do not need to urgently seek starting pitchers, unlike many other teams. Joel Sherman of the New York Post argues that the Yankees have seven veteran starters including Cam Schlittler, who is expected to win the AL Cy Young award, as well as Gerrit Cole and Max Fried among others. Additionally, the team has two promising young players in Carlos Lagrange and Elmer Rodriguez. Sherman cautions against trading from this stable roster, especially given the uncertainty of a potential long lockout affecting player movement during the offseason.
