What could push Yankees to speed up their offseason as major questions linger

Source: New York Post

LAS VEGAS – Will the Yankees be aggressive in roster building prior to an expected Dec. 1 owner lockout of players? There is, for example, no such wonder with the Mets, who have been described by both agents and opposing front offices as aggressive so far this offseason, especially in the area of starting pitching. The feedback I have received within the industry is an expectation that Tarik Skubal will sign a record pitching deal before a shutdown, and that the Mets are expected to be strong contenders for the two-time AL Cy Young winner.
