Don’t expect the New York Yankees to do much before they make a decision on DJ LeMahieu and his future in pinstripes. Given how long the negotiations have been going on, the Yankees are now allowing competitors to bid on LeMahieu’s services.
The Toronto Blue Jays have now emerged as potential suitors for the star infielder, and one young star for the AL division rival would love to play with the 2020 batting title winner.
“I think DJ LeMahieu is the best hitter in baseball, and I don’t even really think it’s close, from what I’ve seen,” Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette said in an appearance on teammate Ross Stripling’s “Big Swing” podcast.
