The New York Yankees will likely have competition for star infielder DJ LeMahieu this off-season. Despite hitting him with a qualifying offer, teams will see him as a valuable addition to their rosters, even if it means forfeiting a draft selection to the Yankees in the process.
If you are unaware of LeMahieu’s quality, he was named an AL MVP candidate for his 2020 performance, posting a .364 batting average with 10 homers and 27 RBIs. He won the batting title with the Yankees the season and was defensively stout, as his past three Gold Gloves would attest.
