The New York Yankees are doing everything in their power to keep DJ LeMahieu in the infield, the only issue is that he desires a five-year contract, and they would prefer to settle for less.
Four years with a club or vesting option would suffice, but DJ’s desire to stay long term in his future home is the driving factor, despite his admittance to remain in pinstripes.
If the Yankees continue to drag out the negotiation process into the dark days of winter, other teams could come calling for his services, if they haven’t already.
