The New York Yankees are making a mistake with DJ LeMahieu

The New York Yankees have an absolutely stacked roster, but utility man DJ LeMahieu stands above the rest. His ability to maneuver around the infield at will and produce high-quality at-bats against fantastic pitching makes him extremely valuable. When LeMahieu signed a two-year, $24 million deal back in 2019, nobody expected him to be as productive as he’s been.

In 2019, he batted .327 with 26 home runs and 102 RBIs. He ranked fourth in MVP voting, further proving that general manager Brian Cashman was right to sign him in the first place. He had always been a solid player for the Colorado Rockies in a homer-friendly park, but his production thus far has been admirable.
