When DJ LeMahieu signed a two-year deal worth $24,000,000 at the beginning of 2019 with the New York Yankees, there was a strong belief that the Yankees were set in the IF, and that DJ LeMahieu was more of an unnecessary utility signing than anything else. Especially coming at 12MM annually, people were wondering if DJ was worth his price tag.
Before last year, DJ was a solid player with the Rockies, but nowhere near the player, he became last season. The 2019 season LeMahieu was unstoppable for the New York Yankees and by far the most consistent player.
