I think back to last winter. The Yankees seemed to be in on every big name free agent not named Robinson Cano. The Bronx Bombers were coming off a playoff-less season in 2013, and ownership was prepared to open the wallet and spend BIG. One of the dire positions of need was right field. Nick Swisher had defected for Cleveland after the 2012 season, and New York had no intention of bringing him back. Instead, in 2013, Ichiro Suzuki played in 150 games, and showed every bit of his age, hitting only .262, with a .297 on-base percentage. The need was real, and there was one specific free agent the Yankees had their eye on.
