Yankees general manager Brian Cashman provided some insight Thursday night into the team’s infield situation, leaving the door open for a variety of solutions. The Yankees have three internal options at third base, but they’re also keeping an eye on the trade market if a better fit becomes available.
Internal Candidates: A Platoon in the Works?
Cashman mentioned DJ LeMahieu, Oswald Peraza, and Oswaldo Cabrera as the primary internal options at third base. While none of them offer a perfect solution, the Yankees seem willing to mix and match if necessary.
LeMahieu, a two-time batting champion, has seen a noticeable decline over the past two seasons.
