The Yankees need to bring back DJ LeMahieu regardless of what you think.
The New York Yankees‘ success the last two seasons can be directly attributed to the presence of DJ LeMahieu, who was clearly the team MVP in 2019 and 2020 while guys like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, both of whom are supposed to be MVP candidates, missed significant time with injuries.
