What happened: Joel Sherman turned to the New York Yankees' outfield in the sixth installment of his position-by-position offseason breakdown, centering the outlook on Spencer Jones, who sat with a sore foot in September.

Why it matters: After earning a big-league call-up in July, Jones' role is the central question shaping how New York constructs its outfield group this winter alongside its broader infield evaluations.

What to watch: New York's front office will determine whether to build the outfield around Jones internally or explore external additions during the winter.
