Money, money, money that is what the New York Yankees are focusing on this off-season. With the winter meetings underway, reports have confirmed that the Yankees are prioritizing the signing of DJ LeMahieu, as most predicted months ago.
When the season ended, LeMahieu and a possible extension were already in the works, but both sides have hit a snag as DJ desires a five-year deal, and the Yankees want to keep it at four years if possible.
They’re already on the hook for multiple long-term contracts, and adding a 32-year-old to that algorithm doesn’t conjure good results.
