Aaron Boone isn’t expecting the Yankees to make any more moves before spring training.
New York has had an active offseason and the second-year manager thinks the team’s roster “is pretty much set” heading into the start of camp later this month.
“Obviously, things happen that force (general manager) Brian (Cashman) and his staff to pivot on certain things,” Boone said Tuesday, via NJ.com. “But I think it’s safe to assume that we’re going to spring training with the team we expect to have.”
Stars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remain free agents. Boone, however, said he does not envision the Yankees signing either player.
“You never say never with anything, but I would also say that we’re anticipating that we have a great team right now,” Boone said. “We feel like we have a complete team that’s ready to go compete for a championship.”
The Yankees finished last season with a 100-62 record and advanced to the ALDS, where they fell to the Red Sox in four games. They’ve since traded for Mariners ace James Paxton and signed infielder Troy Tulowitzki, amongst other moves.
