One of the New York Yankees' priorities this winter is bringing in Anthony Volpe insurance/competition. The only problem? Aside from Ha-Seong Kim, the shortstop market is very thin.
But what if the Yankees had a chance to do something bolder? Instead of bringing in competition for Volpe, they could replace him entirely. Well, sometimes the hot stove brings surprises, and one of them just became available.
The Texas Rangers are just two years removed from a World Series title, but age and regression have hit their club hard, and the team is now looking to cut payroll in 2026 and regroup.
