MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: The Yankees forwent the historic class of free agent shortstops last offseason, sticking with operation stopgap while waiting for Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe to develop. Despite the mediocre play from the short last season — New York received the seventh-least value from the shortstop position thanks to Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s travails at the plate and with the glove — Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman have already thrown their support behind Kiner-Falefa as the Opening Day starter in 2023. They also continue to reiterate their belief in Peraza and Volpe, with the former likely being given a chance to win the starting job early in the season to give the latter time to refine his play after struggling in his first taste of Triple-A at the end of 2022.
