Even amidst one of the weakest free agent classes in years, the list of available infield upgrades available outside the trade market is one of the worst in recent memory. Fortunately for the Yankees, a sizable infield upgrade isn’t near the top of their list of offseason needs, what with Gleyber Torres manning the keystone for another year, Anthony Volpe ascendant at shortstop, Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu still under contract, and Oswald Peraza and Oswaldo Cabrera waiting in the wings. It’s too late to fully rectify what was a clear mistake in essentially exchanging Urshela for Josh Donaldson after 2021, but bringing the third baseman back on a small-time deal could be helpful in filling the numerous bottom-of-the-roster holes that have sprung up since that unfortunate deal.
