LAS VEGAS — For an offseason that began with Hal Steinbrenner blaming Yankees hitters for the club’s going another year without a championship, it is a bad time to need offense.
Considering that the free agent class is not overflowing with high-level bats, and especially not at the positions where the Yankees have holes, Brian Cashman will have his work cut out for him in trying to improve a lineup that came up small again this October — and for large chunks of the season while missing Aaron Judge.
It is still to be determined whether Steinbrenner’s frustration will lead to any changes to Aaron Boone’s staff, most notably hitting coach James Rowson, but otherwise the Yankees may need to get creative in how they add bats.
“It has to be better,” Steinbrenner said last month. “We’re going to address how to do that as best we can.”
