The Yankees have made one of the biggest moves of the season so far, winning the third baseman Ryan McMahon Offer a pair of pitching prospects from Colorado. This addresses their most obvious need in position players. However, this may not be their only acquisition on the dirt.
Track and Field reports say the Yankees are looking to add an infielder who can hit from the right. Kirschner specifically added that New York is interested in switching twins, Willi Castro. He also floated in Washington Amed Rosario As a favorite player at the front desk.
They are two of many potential options. Old friend Thairo Estrada (Rocky Mountains) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa (Pirates) is a short-term work of the bad team. A’s Louis Uris and Baltimore Ramón Urías (Louis’s brother) Each should be available. Angels can listen to the rent of switches YoánMoncada and Luis Rengifo.
Castro is the best in that group, so the person who should get the most interest from each team. He entered the game tonight with a slash line of .257/.346/.429 and had 10 home runs in 319 sets. Castro has been a slightly above average batsman for three consecutive seasons. He would be a special lift instead of a left-handed pitch, and he hit .284/.341/.519. His .246/.348/.392 slashes for rights are closer to average, but are almost impossible to play.
Minnesota has four games below .500 and is five games away from the wildcard position. They are open to rent. The 28-year-old Castro was paid 6.4mm during the final arbitration season. He is not a great defensive player anywhere, but he is able to move between second base, third base and corner outfield positions. He also has a lot of shortstop experience, although he shouldn’t be playing regularly.
If Castro is in line with super mold, Rosario is more like a short film. He played well, including .299/.333/.483 displayed this season. He made contact with the right-hand pitcher, but he almost never walked and wouldn’t hit power because of power. Rosario was a shortstop early in his career, but is now limited to second/third base. With a salary of 2mm, he is an upcoming free agent.
The Yankees will provide most of their playing time between second and third bases Jazz Chisholm Jr. and McMahon. Each of them hits from the left. Chisholm is a career batsman against Southpaws. McMahon’s lifetime .231/.307/.378 line has no advantage. Oswald Peraza They are currently a complement to their right-handed, but he has not shown that he can hit MLB pitches on either hand. He was a great defender for Castro and Rosario, but didn’t offer anything to the Bats. Peraza is impossible, so the Yankees need to expose him to a waiver before they can give him to a minor. If they get a right-handed hit infielder, it will almost certainly squeeze him out of the lineup.
Kirschner added that the Yankees (almost every contender) are also seeking help from the bullpen. He lists Pittsburgh’s David Bednar And three in Minnesota JhoanDurán,,,,, Griffin Jax and Danny Coulombe Probably among dozens of bullpen options that Yankees are considering.
Both Durán and Jax have doubtful actions. The twins reportedly require multiple top prospects for any controllable late-stage weapon. With a salary of $5.9mm, Bednar is eligible for a season and he will likely go, but he needs big rewards on his own. Coulombe has the lowest prospects. He is a 3mm deal for rent. Pittsburgh and Minnesota will certainly get calls from many of these pitchers’ teams (and Dennis Santana and Brock Stewart).
