The biggest Yankees questions looming over MLB GM meetings

The Yankees head into a shortened and uncertain offseason with another early playoff exit to assess and a roster to reshape. General manager Brian Cashman and his counterparts meet in Las Vegas this week, where teams may begin planning or making moves sooner than usual ahead of a looming lockout.

The collective bargaining agreement is due to expire at 11:59 p.m. on 1 December, after which major league transactions are expected to freeze. With just over three weeks until the likely work stoppage, it is unclear how active the Yankees will be; they largely stayed out of the market before the previous lockout.
