There is no question the New York Yankees will be active in the shortstop free-agent market, but there is a caveat for any potential deals that general manager Brian Cashman makes. While adding a star talent like Carlos Correa looks excellent on paper, despite the cheating scandals and negative comments about Derek Jeter, his main vulnerability is that he presents a long-term solution at shortstop and not a stop-gap.
According to The Daily News, the Yankees prefer to settle on a stop-gap instead of a long-term solution, which changes everything.
It appears the Yankees will not be the team to hand out that deal, multiple industry sources have told the Daily News.
