Yankees 2017 Potential Free Agent Target: Justin Morneau

2016 Statistics: 58 G, .261/.303/.429, 6 HR, 100 OPS+

Age on Opening Day 2017: 35

Position: DH/1B (mainly DH)

The Yankees are highly unlikely to pursue any big name free agents this winter not named Aroldis Chapman. So the key for Brian Cashman is to find affordable pieces to make contributions and keep this young Yankees squad in postseason contention for 2017.

Free agent Justin Morneau would have been labeled as a big name not too long ago, but due to injuries and aging, he has dipped into the category of low-cost rental.
