Given uncertainty at second and third, the Yankees may need a new utility infielder to start 2018

Spring Training is less than three weeks away and we still don’t know who the Yankees will have at second and third bases on Opening Day. Could be prospects, could be veterans yet to be acquired, could be some combination of the two. For what it’s worth, Ken Rosenthal says the Yankees have had “minimal” recent contact with free agents, which of course could change at any moment.

The Yankees have to sort out their second and third base positions in camp, and they’ll also need to figure out their utility infielder as well. Ronald Torreyes has done a wonderful job holding that spot down the last two years, and I’d put money on him doing it again this year, but Torreyes could end up starting (or platooning) at second or third.
