12/04/24 | Ex-GM has Yankees trade package that lands them a much-needed first baseman. The Yankees are in need of a first baseman after declining Anthony Rizzo's $17 million club option for the 2025 season last month. With the race for Juan Soto at the top of everyone's mind, the Yankees' serious need at that position has taken a backseat in offseason chatter. The Athletic's Jim Bowden proposes that the Yankees strike a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays for Yandy Diaz. “In return, the Rays might be able to land two prospects such as speedy center fielder Brando Mayea and righty Zach Messinger, who could develop into a back-of-the-rotation starter,” Bowden writes.

11/28/24 | Yankees have plenty of options to solve MLB-worst production at first base. When Anthony Rizzo collided with Fernando Tatis Jr. on May 28, 2023, a slugger's career was sidetracked — as was an entire positional group. Since that day, after which Rizzo struggled and eventually was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome , Yankees first basemen have been the worst in baseball. In 289 games since the crash, Yankees first basemen have posted a .602 OPS that is easily the lowest (29th is the Brewers at .654). 5 Anthony Rizzo reacts during Game 5 of the World Series on Oct. 30, 2024.

11/27/24 | Should the Yankees Pursue This Veteran First Baseman?. The New York Yankees are looking at multiple free agent markets right now, but there is a sneaky good option that can fill one of their biggest needs. Last season, the Yankees lacked quality play at first base, both offensively and defensively. Regular first baseman Anthony Rizzo was worth -0.2 fWAR due to a shocking lack of power and decreasing defensive range, and had his club option declined by the Bronx Bombers. DJ LeMahieu was even worse, hitting just .204 with two home runs, and was worth -0.5 fWAR despite his defensive versatility. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/should-the-yan... |
