The New York Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman have options to fill the vacant left field position. Aside from Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera competing during spring training, the team could sign the top remaining free agent or look to the trade market for support.
The players available may not move the needle significantly. Still, it would provide an upgrade and allow Cabrera to serve in a super-utility role, which is likely his preferred spot, given the value he showed across the board defensively in 2022.
