We’re getting closer and closer to the 2011 season ending and the free agency period for baseball to begin.
In my last article, I did a history of the top 10 worst free agency signings for the Yankees.
The ones I reviewed were of recent history.
This will be the complete opposite of that.
This one will be the top 10 best free agency signings in recent history for the Yankees.
Since 1995, the Yankees have missed the playoffs only one time, won the American League East division title 11 times, appeared in seven World Series and won five championships.
A lot of that has to do with the Yankees making the right moves to land free agents.
This list was a lot harder to put together because of who was an actual free agent and who got traded.
For example, Tino Martinez, Scott Brosius, Paul O’Neill, David Cone, John Wetteland and Cecil Fielder were all results of the Yankees making trades and won’t be on this list.
Nope, this is strictly free agency moves.
