On today’s broadcast, Jack Curry—possibly the most knowledgeable reporter about the New York Yankees—dropped an intriguing nugget.
Before Oswald Peraza’s injury, there were rumors that the Yankees were trying to add a bench player since they had made offers to Amed Rosario and Enrique Hernandez that were reportedly worth $4 million each.
There’s some smoke on the Yankees’ search for a backup infielder, as the former top-100 prospect is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks due to a shoulder ailment.
Jack Curry stated that he does not think the team currently has their reserve infielder on the roster, which might lead to some intriguing situations during their offseason.
Although they have their starting lineup set for Opening Day, the Yankees’ infield could use some assistance.
There is just not enough depth in the infield. With Opening Day less than three weeks away, there is a desperate need to find work, a sign that free agency has not handled the lower echelons of the market well.
The Yankees might be interested in players like Jean Segura or Donovan Solano, albeit both are at different price points. In addition, the Giants recently placed J.D.
Davis on waivers, thus the Bronx Bombers might also choose to use him.
