The 2017 New York Yankees lineup could be more or less in place at this point. With the team swapping Matt Holliday in for the departed Brian McCann as their primary designated hitter, there are no clear holes left to fill, unless the team creates one themselves by trading away another veteran.
On the final day of the 2016 Winter Meetings, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told Pete Caldera of the Bergen County Record, “It’s unlikely for us to make any changes on the position player side unless we traded Gardy.”
New York has been exploring the possibility of trading the remaining pricey veterans on their roster, including left fielder Brett Gardner, center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, and third baseman Chase Headley, but have yet to find a deal that works for them.
