Yankees: Bring second baseman Joe Panik to the Bronx?
The Yankees have an embarrassment of riches both at the big league level and in the minor leagues to fill the vacancy at second base left by the departure of Starlin Castro in the Giancarlo Stanton trade.
Ronald Torreyes and Tyler Wade will undoubtedly vie for second base, as will the Yankees top prospect, Gleyber Torres, whom general manager Brian Cashman has often said this offseason will fight for the position in Spring Training.
However, Torres is coming off Tommy John surgery on his non-throwing elbow, and is a wait and see situation as we approach camp.
The Yankees can gain another year of control of Torres if he spends the first few weeks in the minors before being called up.
