The New York Yankees have made it their number one priority is to re-sign DJ LeMahieu. Many thought that the two were pretty close in the negotiations, but that may not be the case. The Yankees were hoping to sign him for three years at $75 million, but LeMahieu wanted a five-year deal at $100 million. Either we were deceived, or Lemahieu has upped the deal. He now wants five years at $125 million, putting them two years and $50 million apart.
Yankee fans and writers alike are getting tired of reporting on the negotiations that now have dragged on for two months.
