Given the current construction of the Yankees roster, it stands to reason that they need some combination of a first baseman, second baseman, and/or shortstop. Gleyber Torres is penciled in at one of the middle infield slots, to be sure, and Luke Voit and Greg Bird are ostensibly in-line for the at-bats at first – but there is a feeling that at least two of these positions are far from settled. The in-house options may mean that it doesn’t make a terrible amount of sense to spend big at any of those positions (especially with Didi Gregorius slated to return at some point this Summer), but adding a proven talent into the fray is almost certainly a must.
