The Yankees have watched several solid infield options come off the board this offseason, and the latest name to join that list is Brendan Rodgers. The 28-year-old infielder signed an MiLB deal with the Houston Astros on Wednesday, adding another layer of frustration for a Yankees team that still has a glaring need in their infield.
Rodgers Would Have Been a Low-Risk, High-Reward Addition
Rodgers wasn’t a game-changing move, but he would have provided much-needed depth and versatility. Last season, he played 135 games for the Colorado Rockies, hitting .267/.314/.407 with 13 home runs and 54 RBIs.
