But that would involve signing a Free Agent, and we know that ain’t gonna happen

They have, in fact, signed several free-agent pitchers. Just not any hitters.

The ones they've signed have been like Dumpster Diving at Filene's Basement.

Buehler (-1.3 WAR, 5.38 ERA )
Wilson (-0.2 WAR, 5.59 ERA)
Sandoval ( 0.0 WAR, 5.08 ERA, Injured List)
Chapman ( No Comment Needed )
Robert Stock (Full Throttle!!!)

Where did I say they were good? That said, you're being obtuse with a few of these guys, as you know you are.

They signed Chapman to face lefties. Lefties hit .211 /.378/.263 against him last year. Buehler was coming off TJ surgery. He had a 2.95 ERA the previous five years. Wilson, similar story. Stock was signed to a minor league deal.

Sandoval was a solid starter until he was injured. Many teams sign rehabbing TJ pitchers to get the upside. Had the Yankees done it, you'd be praising them for being creative. They handled the pitching side well, the lineup poorly.
