Amed Rosario back at $2.5M is tidy business for the Yankees—bench with intent, lefty masher, multi-positional cover. But… it’s mid-December and the “new” faces are mostly old friends (Grisham, Yarbrough, Hill). We break down the realistic paths from here: Cody Bellinger (and why L.A. keeps popping up), Kyle Tucker timing, the very real Michael King pursuit, fresh Tatsuya Imai chatter, and why Merrill Kelly’s price/tag always screamed D-backs return.
