Part 2/7:

There is speculation that Jazz Chisholm, currently situated elsewhere in the infield, may find a permanent home at second base. This transition makes sense, considering Chisholm’s exceptional athleticism. However, the Yankees' search for infield depth is unlikely to focus exclusively on third baseman targets.

Willie Castro: Speed and Versatility

One name emerging as a strong possibility for a trade is Willie Castro of the Minnesota Twins. Castro had an impressive 2024 season, accumulating a 108 RC+ and a 3.1 F WAR over 158 games while showcasing his versatility across multiple positions. What draws the Yankees to Castro is his potential fit at third base, considering his speed and strong arm, both of which could elevate the Yankees’ infield defensively.
