The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0have what’s sure to be an extremely eventful offseason ahead of them.<\/p>\n

While the front office appears to have allocated a lot of money to spend on free agency, much of that\u00a0will (hopefully) go to slugger Juan Soto.\u00a0But even if the Yankees do re-sign Soto, there are other weaknesses on the roster that need addressing.<\/p>\n

However, New York won’t have much free agency money left over in that situation, which could force them to improve their roster via trade.<\/p>\n

And in a November 28\u00a0article, Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter\u00a0conveyed that prospect Roderick Arias could be used as “trade bait” to bolster the Yankees roster.<\/p>\n

“It was a down year for the New York Yankees farm system, but there is still a lot of high-ceiling talent in the pipeline, and shortstop Roderick Arias has the tools to be a consensus Top 100 prospect in the near future,” Reuter wrote.<\/p>\n
