Turns out that, even after the Brandon Drury trade, Neil Walker’s asking price was too good to pass up. The Yankees signed Walker to a one-year deal worth $4M guaranteed yesterday. Can’t beat that price. The infield is presumably now set with Walker at second and Drury at third. I have some thoughts on the Walker signing and what it means, so let’s get to it.
1. Walker was my preferred infield target. I said it more times than I care to count during the offseason. I’m pretty thrilled with the signing, especially at that price.
