The New York Yankees will shop for a new shortstop this offseason. General manager Brian Cashman recently confirmed that Gleyber Torres will play second, so the organization will try to find a replacement in the upcoming weeks and months. This year’s free agent shortstop class is filled with talent, and the Yankees may try to bring one star, even though top prospects Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza aren’t too far from the majors.
While the Yanks often prioritize offense, they haven’t had a defensively solid starting shortstop in quite a while. Before Gleyber, Didi Gregorius manned the position, and Derek Jeter preceded Didi.
