The New York Yankees made a big move to bolster their starting rotation on Monday, but there’s no reason to believe they’re done.
According to Jon Morosi of MLB.com, the Yankees are still aiming to sign either Patrick Corbin or J.A. Happ in free agency even after trading for James Paxton.

The Yankees have been linked to Corbin for a long time, and it’s also no secret that they’ve been aiming to get two starters all offseason. Now they can focus on free agency with the knowledge that they have one of the two in the fold and can make further moves accordingly.
