The New York Yankees want to retain free agent DJ LeMahieu. Their general manager, Brian Cashman, has gone on the record saying that it remains the team’s top priority this offseason. However, so far, there hasn’t been much progress in talks and the infielder is reportedly getting frustrated, telling his agents to engage with other teams that offer something closer to what he wants: five years and more than $110 million.
Fans are definitely puzzled that they haven’t been able to come to terms. Now, fellow players are starting to get worried, too. After all, LeMahieu was the Yankees’ leading contributor in fWAR the last two seasons.
