These awards and stats are proof of a remarkable MLB career.

They belong to DJ LeMahieu.

A second-round pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, LeMahieu came to Colorado via trade after playing 37 games with the Chicago Cubs in 2011. Little could anyone have imagined the incredible impact LeMahieu would have in Colorado and in Major League Baseball.

That’s why it was hard to see the former Rockie designated for assignment by the New York Yankees on Wednesday. LeMahieu's six-year, $90 million contract goes through 2026 and the Yankees still owe him $22 million with $15 million of that due next season.
