12/16/24 | Yankees predicted to acquire $72 million Gold Glover in free agency blockbuster. At this point, the New York Yankees know that their pitching staff will be one of Major League Baseball's best. If the season started tomorrow, 2024 Triple-A callup Ben Rice might well be the starter. This isn't a knock against Rice, who had some great moments in his limited action with the big-league club, but it's hard to count on him being ready for a full-time gig. Fortunately, there are still some big bats available in free agency and New York, which saved three-quarters of a billion dollars on the Soto deal, could look to capitalize there.
