Yankees could be in trouble as top short-stop market hits astronomical prices

The shortstop market in free agency feels a lot like cryptocurrency, it continues to increase, but at some point, it will have to reset and buyers will be waiting. The New York Yankees are sitting patiently for an opportunity to strike, as agents are elevating the price tag of their star shortstops and expecting teams to bite before an expected lockout on December 1.

However, general manager Brian Cashman has been around the block a few times and knows how these deals usually work, which is exactly what he accomplished with DJ LeMahieu last year. He ended up landing LeMahieu on a six-year, $90 million deal when most believe he would breach $120 million in total.
