In 2019 the New York Yankees acquired DJ LeMahieu before the 2019 season from the Colorado Rockies. General Manager Brian Cashman has had some failure with a few players; this acquisition was a winner right from spring training 2019. The Yankees couldn’t have asked more from the second baseman. In his first year, he won the Silver Slugger Award for 2nd base. He hit .327 with 26 home runs. The Yankees would have been happy in 2020 if he just approached those stats. What they got was an even better performance hitting .364 in the shortened coronavirus season.
