The Yankees need a left fielder and the Twins’ Max Kepler sounds like the favorite.
The rumors rumbled once Andrew Benintendi signed a five-year deal with the White Sox. Once former Yankee Joey Gallo signed with the Twins, they became deafening. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported the calls were coming for Kepler mere hours after Gallo signed.
But there’s another name the Yankees should be considering, and we’ve already discussed it. Cubs outfielder Ian Happ just won a Gold Glove in left field and is a more effective hitter than Kepler.
