What else do the New York Yankees have up their sleeve?<\/p>\n

It appears the team isn’t done making moves after re-signing superstar and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge to a nine-year, $360 million contract.<\/p>\n

“They are in on Carlos Rodon, but then I heard that there’s something even bigger that they’re working on,” Michael Kay said on his show<\/a> Friday.<\/p>\n

The assumption will be that if the Yankees are pursuing a bigger fish than Rodon left on the market, it will be star shortstop Carlos Correa.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Buster Olney hinted as much, saying on 95.7 The Game’s Willard and Dibs<\/i><\/a> that he’s “definitely picking up a lot of vibes” the Yankees are “working on something big” in regards to Correa.<\/p>\n

The Yankees already have Isiah Kiner-Falefa at shortstop and a pair of highly regarded prospects at the position in Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza, so it hasn’t appeared to be the team’s biggest need this offseason.<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt that Correa would be an immediate upgrade, however.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, a two-time All-Star, hit .291 with 22 homers, 64 RBI, 70 runs and a .834 OPS. It was his sixth season with at least 20 home runs, excellent production for a player at a defensively-key position.<\/p>\n

Retaining Judge and landing Correa in the same offseason would be a huge splash for the Yankees, even if it’s arguable that adding a left-fielder is a more pressing need and stockpiling starting pitchers on Rodon’s level is never a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how the Yankees continue to approach free agency, it doesn’t appear as though the Judge signing will slow them down this winter.<\/p>\n

“We have a lot of aspects of the roster that we need to address,” Cashman told reporters on Wednesday. “There’s other aspects of the roster we’re trying to address and we’ll continue to do so. We’re on the clock. We’ll obviously give [manager Aaron Boone] the best players so he can have the best team and he can do with it what he wants when spring training starts.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
