According to Jack Curry, the Yankees are closing in on a two-year contract with infielder DJ LeMahieu. They plan to use him as a utility guy at first base, second base, and third base. The Neil Walker role, basically. I assume this means Manny Machado isn’t happening, not that it ever seemed all that likely.
More to come in a bit. My quick take: I think LeMahieu’s better his road numbers and he’s an excellent fallback plan if Troy Tulowitzki doesn’t work out. Also: Passing on Machado is turrible. Go read this in the meantime.
