At this point, 20 million means nothing. CC isn’t worth 20 million, so we shouldn’t assume that a 20 million pitcher would put the team over the top for winning.

They very well could let Lester, but slim chance on the other two.

Hasn’t worked? All except for 2008 and 2013 the Yankees have been in the postseason. Try having them in your division. Sure, the free agent market isn’t the same anymore, but the Yankees still find ways to win.

I don’t think you read my comment properly. I’m talking about how most of the free agents the Yankees signed haven’t really paid dividends to the team this season to the point where they are winning like they were the past decade or two. Guys like McCann and Beltran have vastly underachieved, and they were given relatively big contracts.
Surprisingly, the Yankee finished over .500 and almost made the postseason last season. Yet, this season they sit right at .500. That’s a pretty low win percentage for a team who spent many millions trying to regain the crown of the AL East. Even moving forward with how few stars making the free agent market, the Yankees are going to have to adapt and find another way to win again. They simply can’t buy stars like they used to for this reason and unlike in the past, there are now many teams like the Dodgers, Angels, and even the Cubs (who will have a ton of money to spend in the future) that can compete for free agents due to increased TV revenue deals (well maybe not the Dodgers for this reason, but they have ownership that is willing to spend.)

That’s what everyone said about the Yankees midseason 2007 (that the team just wasn’t talented enough), and look what happened there.
