Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Matt Chapman
Photo by David Berding/Getty ImagesWhen the Yankees broke camp without a viable starting third baseman nor left fielder, many of us wondered how they would hope to compete with the best teams in 2023. The predictable came to pass, with both Opening Day starters at the positions — Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks — released from the team before the end of August. Will the Yankees make the same mistake, or will they look at external options to man the hot corner in 2024? Should they choose the latter, Matt Chapman is likely one of the first names they will consider.
