LeMahieu ready to face the Big Apple

After 7 “special years” in Colorado, DJ LeMahieu says going from Rockies to Yankees is exciting, not intimidating | Denver Post ($)

DJ LeMahieu, after a nerve-wrackingly slow offseason, says he’s excited to start playing for the Yankees. With the $24 million, two-year deal, the Yankees hope to utilize LeMahieu all over the infield, not only at second base. The change in teams will mean not only a change in position, but also change in exposure for LeMahieu. The Rockies are not covered very much in the national media, whereas the Yankees are about as storied as they come.
