Yankees' Updated Starting Lineup, Payroll After Donaldson, Kiner-Falefa Trade
The New York Yankees are going to have quite the powerful lineup in 2022.
The Bronx Bombers announced they acquired third baseman Josh Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt from the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. They sent catcher Gary Sanchez and infielder Gio Urshela to the American League Central team.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported New York will take on all $50 million remaining on Donaldson's contract as part of the deal.
According to Spotrac, the team's total payroll is $225.2 million.
Here is a look at how the team potentially lines up across the diamond, although there will surely be more changes before Opening Day:
