Part 4/8:
In light of Cole's injury, discussions have arisen concerning the overall construction of the Yankees' roster. The Yankees made an effort to bolster their pitching depth by acquiring Max Fried, but questions remain regarding how effectively they prepared for potential setbacks, especially considering the team's limited offensive moves during the offseason.
With third base left as a notable weak spot, key players like DJ LeMahieu are already dealing with injuries, amplifying the Yankees' lack of depth at critical positions. With Cole out and an inconsistent offense, the Yankees now appear vulnerable in a competitive AL East.
