New York Yankees rumors have been picking up steam in recent days with the offseason beginning. What is the latest hot stove buzz?

After the end of the World Series, New York Yankees rumors have been heating up as the weather around the country cools down. After a surprisingly successful 2016 season, the Yankees are looking to improve in the offseason.

Last season, the Yankees made a serious push for the postseason after the trades of Andrew Miller, Aroldis Chapman, and Carlos Beltran. Usually, when a team is sellers at the trade deadline, they struggle for the rest of the season, but it was the opposite for the Yankees.

The call-up of catcher Gary Sanchez really sparked them in the second half, as he put up historic numbers upon his arrival. The call-up of Sanchez was the first of many upcoming call-ups for the Yankees, as they have a ton of young talent on the horizon. The decisions to trade some of the great players at the deadline last season was controversial, but there is no denying that they got a lot in return.
