FTR, I wouldn't have been in on Darvish.
But I don't understand the Yankees not targeting anyone. Obviously, Cole is an absolute monster, but then? You're hoping Severino returns okay from TJ. You're hoping German comes back from suspension well. Besides them? Deivi Garcia, Jordan Montgomery, Michael King, Johnathan Loaisiga all competing for 4th and 5th spots.
I'm okay reining in the spending, to a degree. No more Stanton contracts. But they're risking losing LaMahieu and not chasing someone like Bauer. Just signing those two guys would make this an overwhelmingly successful offseason.
