The value New York Yankees utility man DJ LeMahieu brings to the roster is beyond comprehension. His offerings at first and second base make him a staple in the infield. Some might say he’s indispensable, but the Yankees are facing a potential problem. Can they afford to pay LeMahieu and Aaron Judge after signing Gerrit Cole to a nine-year, $324 million deal?
In 2019, LeMahieu was the Yankees’ most valuable player by a large margin, and he was only earning $12 million. For a player of his magnitude, $12 million is a steal — Brett Gardner is making about the same in 2020.
