The Yankees surprised many when reports emerged that they had agreed to a contract with DJ LeMahieu. The team’s purported pursuit of Manny Machado, of course, came into question. Whether the Yankees are still pursuing Machado or not, they brought in LeMahieu to be a significant piece of the infield going forward.
The Yankees have key players locked in as starters for their infield currently, with high expectations for sophomore seasons from Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar. They also have Luke Voit and Greg Bird to battle out over first base, Didi Gregorius to play shortstop once he recovers from injury, and Troy Tulowitzki to man short in his stead.
