The Yankees have a delicate task this offseason to upgrade the offense if they are indeed serious about improving on 2025’s disappointing finish. With multiple positions to address, potentially limited funds to do so and a lack of true difference makers outside of Kyle Tucker, the front office might have to get creative in their roster building and allocation of funds. Simply running it back with the same offense is unlikely to produce improved results, so barring a pursuit of Tucker, the likeliest avenue to increasing the offensive firepower might have to come via trade. If they position themselves as active players in the trade market, it would be difficult to find a more immediate upgrade than Ketel Marte.
