Part 4/8:
While securing Fried is a major step for the Yankees, it is just the beginning of an ambitious off-season strategy. The team still has several needs to address, particularly with the first base and infield positions. The Yankees have expressed interest in acquiring other significant players, including Gold Glove winner Christian Walker and outfielder Cody Bellinger, as well as exploring a possible trade for Kyle Tucker with the Houston Astros.
Additionally, they require replacements at second and third base due to the departure of Glaber Torres. With Fried's acquisition, the challenge becomes assembling the necessary pieces to return to championship contention.
