Part 5/6:
Infield Developments
Anthony Rizzo's free agency poses a challenge for the Yankees, as they will need to fill the first base position shortly. They are reportedly interested in Christian Walker, who boasts impressive defensive accolades and substantial power at the plate. The Yankees could also consider more budget-friendly options like Paul Goldschmidt or Carlos Santana. Beyond first base, decisions are pending on second and third base, with some discussions about utilizing Chase Chisholm flexibly between these infield positions.
