Hypothetical Yankees Team After 2016: Prospects


The New York Yankees and owner Hal Steinbrenner have already put the bug in the ear of Yankees GM Brian Cashman that the team would once again attempt to get under the luxury tax threshold either after the 2016 or 2017 season. Let’s have a little bit of fun here and pretend that the Yankees actually go from within to fill in most of the roster holes on the team to achieve this goal. What would the Yankees team look like in key positions with a prospect humpers (trademark pending) dream going out there on Opening Day 2017 for the New York Yankees?
