My favorite option for the Yankees’ infield issue was Ha-Seong Kim, a slick-fielding infielder who had both the defensive chops to win a Gold Glove and the offensive skills to help the lineup out. With the Rays inking him to a two-year $29 million deal, that’s not on the table anymore, and that means it’s time to go back to the whiteboard and look at which players I’ve identified as good fits for the team still remain on the market.
There’s a limited pool of infielders who are known to be available on the trade market and can help the Yankees, but one name stands out to me as a strong fit.
