Yesterday was a big news day for the New York Yankees. The day started with the news that the Yankees were close to a deal with their main priority, the signing of DJ LeMahieu. As the day quickly progressed, we learned that the Yankee signing would give both sides the negotiations they were looking for. The Yankees got a signing that would only cost them $15 million annually, and LeMahieu would get the security he was looking for with a six-year deal that would most likely lead to his retirement.
But the Yankees weren’t done shortly thereafter; they signed their second most important player to a contract extension.
