The New York Yankees have made it clear that re-signing reigning MLB batting champ DJ LeMahieu is the team’s primary goal in the offseason. However, it has been harder than they ever imagined, as there is a substantial gap between the two parties. After that, the organization badly needs some starting pitchers and relievers.
Those aren’t the only needs for the Yankees, though. As it turns out, general manager Brian Cashman said that the offense, considered one of the best in the league, could use another potent lefty bat.
“I I can find a way to balance out and incorporate some left-handed, quality bats to balance this out, I think that’s optimal,” the Yankees GM said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM’s The Front Office with hosts Jim Duquette and Jim Bowden on Sunday.
