An important MLB insider recently associated the New York Yankees with a free agency acquisition that might result in the team trading one of their best prospects.
The past few months have been quite eventful for the Yankees. They began the offseason as frontrunners to re-sign star outfielder Juan Soto. Nevertheless, the Bronx Bombers surprisingly fell short in a chaotic bidding contest against crosstown competitors the New York Mets.
However, they swiftly rebounded with a set of four significant actions. Initially, they awarded Atlanta Braves All-Star Max Fried the largest contract ever given to a left-handed pitcher. They acquired elite closer Devin Williams and ex-NL MVP Cody Bellinger through trades. They received a discount rate to acquire future Hall-of-Famer Paul Goldschmidt.
The main question now is whether the club is finished or if they have one final significant move remaining. In recent weeks, they have been associated with possible improvements at third base. Recently, MLB.com league insider Mark Feinsand suggested in a column that the Pinstripes might still have interest in Baltimore Orioles hitter Anthony Santander.
Santander experienced a remarkable year as he hit 44 home runs, several of which were against New York. He would significantly enhance the lineup. Nonetheless, if they were to sign him during free agency, what implications would that have for top outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez?
