MLB Trade Rumors | Simon Hampton: The Yankees have a conundrum in left field and no easy path to solving it. Oswaldo Cabrera flashed moments of excitement in his 44-game debut season last year but is still mostly unproven at the plate and in the field while Aaron Hicks cannot be relied upon to remain healthy nor produce when he is.
The free agent market is sparse with David Peralta, Trey Mancini, and Andrew McCutchen as the three most capable remaining options. Bryan Reynolds is an attractive trade target but will likely require a sky-high prospect return while Max Kepler of the Twins and the assortment of Diamondbacks outfielders don’t move the needle much compared to New York’s internal options.
