The New York Yankees decided after the last season not to take up the options for any players, and that included shortstop Didi Gregorius. After an injury season, the Yankees didn’t make an aggressive attempt to sign him to a new contract, and he remained a free agent until mid-December when he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies for $14 million on a one-year contract deal.
At the same time, the Yankees, along with many other teams, put together an offer to acquire star shortstop Francisco Lindor from the Indians. The Indians did not accept the offer, and the details of the proposal were never released.
