A New York bidding war for Javier Báez?
Benny Sieu-USA TODAY SportsThe Yankees may reportedly join the Mets in the bidding for Javier Báez.
On Tuesday, Andy Martino of SNY reported the Mets are going to make a push to extend Javier Báez after he had a strong end to the season with the club.
Now, reports are indicating the other team in town may have interest in the mercurial infielder as well.
Martino and Alex Smith of SNY are reporting on Wednesday morning that Báez could draw interest from the Yankees.
In their end-of-season press conference on Tuesday, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said shortstop was a specific position of need for the club. Cashman also noted that defense was important in their consideration.
