According to some, the Yankees’ front office suddenly finds themselves staring down the barrel of an impossible offseason decision. As we’ve explored on the site recently, Gleyber Torres does not appear to be cut out for shortstop, and the organization’s late-season decision to move him back to second base signals that his chance to stick at short is officially dead.
Luckily for the Yankees, there’s a plethora of young shortstop talent hitting the market this season, and the organization has the ability to spend big to get one of them. Of note, Corey Seager (27), Carlos Correa (27), and Trevor Story (28) are all set to earn huge paydays in free agency, and they are all upgrades on both sides of the ball.
