Reactions to the Yankees bringing back DJ LeMahieu were quite different than last time

Want to have yourself a good laugh to distract yourself from current horrors of the world? Go back to our community reaction post from almost exactly two years ago, when the Yankees signed free agent infielder DJ LeMahieu to a two-year, $24 million contract.

Fast forward 24 months, and wow, that changed. After two MVP-caliber seasons, Yankees Universe rejoiced after LeMahieu re-signed with the Yanks on a six-year, $90 million deal, ending a frustrating stretch of nearly three months that saw fans impatiently wait for a move that seemed like a no-brainer.

So, after universally hating the signing, the consensus is that DJ LeMahieu’s latest deal is a bargain for the Yankees.
