Yankees Exploring Internal Options At Third Base
3 days agoAccording to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees may look at internal options to cover the hot corner in 2025, including DJ LeMahieu. Sherman noted that the Yankees might not have a strong interest in free agent Alex Bregman or facilitating a trade to acquire Nolan Arenado. As a result, they may opt to find their 2025 third baseman on their current roster, and he emphasized DJ LeMahieu as a potential candidate. Last season, the 36-year-old appeared in just 67 games due to several injuries and posted an underwhelming .204/.269/.259 slash line. Sherman noted that while he has struggled as a hitter over the past few seasons, he has remained a strong defender. Other options who could fill the void are Oswaldo Cabrera and former top prospect Oswald Peraza. From a fantasy perspective, the starting third baseman in the Bronx will be valuable in AL-only formats, batting in a deep lineup.
