The Yankees have made plenty of smart moves this offseason, but their third base situation remains a glaring weak spot. Manager Aaron Boone recently listed DJ LeMahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza as the primary competitors for the job heading into spring training. The problem? None of those three are likely to provide the kind of offensive production the Yankees need to round out their infield.
LeMahieu is coming off a brutal 2024 season where his bat fell off a cliff, Cabrera is best suited as a utility player, and Peraza has yet to prove he can hit at the major league level.
