This article from George King of the New York Post about the Yankees possibly giving top prospect Jorge Mateo second base reps during the Instructional League is pretty intriguing,
This makes all the sense in the world with Didi Gregorius looking more and more like the shortstop of the future. That’s probably a big reason why the Yankees were willing to include Mateo in a deadline deal for Padres closer Craig Kimbrel.
Second base has been such a hole since Robinson Cano left, and that decision is looking more regrettable by the day since they gave Jacoby Ellsbury $153 million and only offered Cano $175 million.
