According to Buster Olney, the Yankees have discussed adding middle infielder Joe Panik, who is a free agent.
As the Yankees explore ways to have more left-handed balance on their roster, one option they've discussed — among others — is adding Joe Panik in free agency, to be part of their infield mix.
Panik is 29 years old and a left-handed batter, which could be a nice addition to the Yankees’ right-handed-heavy lineup. Last season, he played 142 games with the Giants and the Mets. In 461 plate appearances, he batted .244/.315/.336 with 5 HRs, 39 RBIs, and a wRC+ of 76.
