Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Andrelton Simmons
Photo by Ed Zurga/ Andrelton Simmons would make a serviceable utilityman for a number of ballclubs ... so why in the world does it seem like Brian Cashman is considering him for Yankees’ starting shortstop? As is stands right now, the Yankees’ infield is far from complete. Assuming the team does not make a single move over the rest of the winter — not likely, but this is just a hypothetical — the Yankees currently have Luke Voit at first base, Gleyber Torres at second, third baseman Gio Urshela at shortstop, and second baseman DJ LeMahieu at third base. On top...

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Isiah Kiner-Falefa
Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees are going to have to get creative to fix the infield. After sitting idly by and watching while the Texas Rangers doled out their second massive contract to an infielder in 24 hours — this time to Corey Seager, who checked basically every box the Yankees had entering this offseason — New York needs to get creative to fix its infield problems. The dismissals of depth pieces Tyler Wade and Andrew Velazquez have left the Yankees even more woefully thin on the infield, with an out-of-position Gio Urshela and defensive-butcher...

Yankees 2021 Roster Report Cards: Gio Urshela
Photo by Adam Hunger/ Urshela’s regression at the plate in 2021 creates another problem the Yankees must solve this winter. The story of the Yankees’ disappointing 2021 season was offensive underperformance almost across the board. Guys like DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres get the bulk of the attention, though Gio Urshela isn’t blameless when it comes to the team’s offensive malaise. His regression in 2021 not only hurt the team this year, but creates a new set of problems going forward. Grade: C- 2021 Statistics: 116 games, 442 PA, .267/.301/.419, 14 HR, 49...

Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Corey Seager
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees have a hole at shortstop and could use a lefty bat. Corey Seager is one of the best shortstops in the league, and he hits lefty. It’s a match made in heaven. With Gleyber Torres’s inability to handle the position and the team’s decision to designate Tyler Wade for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees have exactly one player on the roster who they feel even remotely confident playing shortstop — third baseman Gio Urshela. Fortunately, the timing could not be better for Brian Cashman, as this...
