At 32-years-old, the New York Yankees are trying to re-sign star infielder DJ LeMahieu, who spent the past two seasons in the Bronx. When general manager Brian Cashman initially signed him for two years, $24 million, nobody expected him to be as exemplary as he was. Not only was he a Silver Slugger in 2019, but he won the batting title in 2020 during the abbreviated campaign.
The expectation is that he could earn a maximum of $25 million per season on a new contract, but DJ wants to spend the next half-decade on a new deal.
