Yankees News/Rumors: Toronto a ‘real threat’ to steal DJ LeMahieu, one free agent replacement

As the New York Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman play the long game with DJ LeMahieu, they increase their chances of losing him in free agency. If the Yankees really wanted to retain him, they would’ve paid a fair price, as LeMahieu is getting tired of waiting around for a new deal. He wants to know where he’s going to play next season and potentially for the next five years, which is completely reasonable after two stellar seasons in pinstripes. It is no secret that DJ wants to remain with the Yankees, but Cashman playing this game could hurt the relationship.
