Yes but there is no solution in place to fix these issues. The yankees farm system is a mess. They cannot develop impact players of any kind, especially starters. So as money rolls off the books, the only real way to "fix" it, to get back to championship ways, is to dish out those multi year deals again...starting with Cano.
SO bringing in Soriano is not the issue in itself, but it does point to the bigger issue. The yankees have no where to turn to fix their problems. They do not have the proper decision makers in place, no one creative enough to do anything but to take on other teams salary or hand out a bigger deal to land the guy they want, nor the proper player develoopment people to help produce from within. We can even start to wonder whats up with the medical staff and all these reinjuries. Clearly guys are being rushed back. Without producing or aquiring low cost players, its ripe for a repeat of all these same mistakes again.
