Now that they are out of the postseason, the next big event the New York Yankees organization will be looking forward to is the free agency period. Many interesting player subplots and storylines will come into play once the dust settles on the season and the Fall Classic has been concluded.For the most successful franchise in the MLB, anything other than a World Series title is considered a disappointment. After being swept by the Houston Astros in the ALCS, many have questioned the tactics and approach that the team has used.In an article posted on The Athletic by baseball insider Jim Bowden, it was speculated that the New York Yankees front office wouldn't chase big names in free agency this offseason. The news ruffled some feathers in the Yankees fanbase.MichiganGiants@MichiganYankeesBowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."79546Bowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."Sports Dudes🎙🎙🎙🎙/NCAA ⚾ LFG@SportsD24733772Yanks are clowns twitter.com/MichiganYankee…MichiganGiants@MichiganYankeesBowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."79546Bowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."Yanks are clowns twitter.com/MichiganYankee…Chow 🥷@AlmightyObjYea im on edge of becoming a dodgers fan lmao , I can’t stand this team anymore twitter.com/michiganyankee…MichiganGiants@MichiganYankeesBowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."79546Bowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."Yea im on edge of becoming a dodgers fan lmao , I can’t stand this team anymore twitter.com/michiganyankee…Brian McGuigan (Irish Goo)@McGuiganGolferNegligence and franchise malpractice.

While some were frustrated by the front office's lack of foresight to address their woes in the position, other portions of the fanbase and analysts understood the logic behind it.Fans pleaded with the front office to develop young talents such as Anthony Volpe, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza, and give them the responsibility to man the position instead.shpee@shpeeventhis is fine as long as we actually let the kids play next year twitter.com/MichiganYankee…MichiganGiants@MichiganYankeesBowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."79746Bowden: "Behind the scenes, the Yankees front office is telling people in the game that they don’t plan to be players in the top free-agent shortstop market, which is expected to include Carlos Correa, Xander Bogaerts, Trea Turner and Dansby Swanson."this is fine as long as we actually let the kids play next year twitter.com/MichiganYankee…DoubleH@HdubbsH@MichiganYankees Its fine they dont go after a SS, but they better damn well NOT play IKF there.

Other priorities for the New York Yankees include the repair of their pitching staff and the acquisition of contact hitters.New York Yankees' free agency listAaron Judge leads the list of Yankee free agents.A mass exodus looms over the Bronx. Except for Anthony Rizzo, who has a player option for next year, a lot of Yankees players will hit free agency this offseason.Topping the list, of course, is none other than AL MVP candidate Aaron Judge. All eyes are on the Yankees front office to see whether or not they can lure back their franchise player.Outfielders Andrew Benintendi, Matt Carpenter and Marwin Gonzalez (the only Yankee player among the three that were with the organization prior to this year) are eligible to be freely signed by other teams this offseason.The controversial Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton, Jameson Taillon, Chad Green and Luis Severino would also hit free agency as they are in the final year of their New York Yankees contracts. Of all the aforementioned pitchers, only Severino is likely to return as he has a team option in his contract.
