New York Yankees‘ second baseman in 2019 and 2020 DJ LeMahieu remains unsigned. Not only he was the batting champion in the shortened 2020 campaign, with a .364 average, but he also was the Bombers’ fWAR leader in both years. His offensive and defensive excellence in the position is unparalleled.
Unsurprisingly, the New York Yankees have made bringing LeMahieu back a priority. The problem is that they have some competition. The New York Mets have a glaring hole at second base following Robinson Cano’s suspension, and they have money to spend and an interest in LeMahieu.
