The Yankees won't try to buy their way into the World Series this offseason, per CBS Sports.

David Price, Johnny Cueto and Zack Greinke will all be available at season's end. In previous years, all three would inevitably be linked with a move to the Bronx, but not in 2016. The Yankees are reportedly interested in a right-handed bat, middle-relief help and one starter not demanding a $200 million deal.
Looks like someone learned a valuable lesson with that CC Sabathia contract.

You know, the one that will still cost the Yankees roughly $40.1 million through 2017, per Beyond the Box Score.
Please Yankees: don't sign Price, Cueto, or Greinke ... They're all great pitchers, and we'd be paying for their past

The days of splurging behind them, the Yankees will look to circumvent their needs in a more pragmatic fashion.
Jeff Samardzija is one of the bargain-busting names New York will reportedly pursue in the offseason. The White Sox pitcher threw 214 innings this season, going 11-13 with a 4.96 ERA.
As for a right-handed hitting outfielder that can supplement Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury, the Yankees could turn to Atlanta's Cameron Maybin. The 28-year-old hit .267 for the Braves, finishing with 10 HRs and 59 RBI.
It's a new approach for the Yankees, but one that's capable of paying actual dividends in 2016.
Throwing money at the problem -- and only lifting one World Series title in the processs -- hasn't exactly paid off the last 15 years.
