These acquisitions signal a long-term strategy, as both García and Ramos have control beyond 2026. The Yankees face questions regarding their current roster fit and injuries, particularly with Giancarlo Stanton's uncertain return. As the offseason approaches, considerations about player contracts, including Stanton's, may influence future roster decisions.
