We are now approaching Christmas and the one thing most New York Yankee fans have been asking for in their stockings is for the Yankees to re-sign DJ LeMahieu. We’re about halfway through the offseason and the latest reports state that the Yankees and LeMahieu are $25 million apart in the deal.
It still seems more likely than not that LeMahieu will be back with the Yankees, it seems to be what both sides want. However for context, Gerrit Cole was already a Yankee this time last offseason, so the fact that this is dragging out so long is mildly concerning.
