The Yankees entered spring training with a major question mark at third base, and as things begin to unfold, it’s looking like a two-man competition between Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza.
Veteran DJ LeMahieu hasn’t been a factor early in camp, having taken several months off from hitting this offseason. Reports suggest the Yankees aren’t feeling confident that he has much impact left in his bat, which means they’re likely turning to their younger in-house options until a better upgrade presents itself.
Cabrera Provides a Steady Defensive Presence
Cabrera, 25, is known more for his versatility than his offensive production, but he does offer switch-hitting ability and solid defense at the hot corner.
