One of the most interesting storylines of the New York Yankees‘ offseason is whether they will be able to retain DJ LeMahieu’s services for 2021 and beyond. The experienced infielder was the team’s most valuable player both in the 2019 and the 2020 seasons, leading the club in fWAR both times and having some timely hits.
Yes, the starting rotation and the bullpen need to be addressed, but the New York Yankees know that failing to retain LeMahieu would cause some problems, possibly forcing them to sign another infielder and move some pieces around the infield.
