The New York Yankees and star infielder DJ LeMahieu have been negotiating a contract extension for weeks now, but things have hit a snag as the player side wants a five-year contract and the Yankees want to stay four years and below.
Considering the Yankees are tied up in multiple contracts over five years with Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, and Aaron Hicks, staying on the safer side is undoubtedly a lust.
With LeMahieu’s preferred contract, he would finish at 37 years old in 2025. However, if there’s anyone worth the length and money of this deal, it’s DJ.
