While Cashman has said that he is not ready to anoint starters at second
base and third base, the team considers Miguel Andujar and Gleyber
Torres as being close to big league ready. Andujar played winter ball in
the Dominican Republic and Torres, rated the game's No. 2 prospect by
MLB Pipeline, Brett Gardner Authentic Jersey is expected to be fully recovered from Tommy John surgery in time for
Spring Training.
Other internal options include Thairo Estrada, Ronald Torreyes and Tyler
Wade. The Yankees have also spoken with the Pirates regarding infielder
Josh Harrison and have been in contact with the agent for free agent
Todd Frazier, who hit .222/.365/.423 with 11 homers and 32 RBIs in 66
games after being acquired by New York last July. Mike Moustakas and
Eduardo Nunez are also free agents.
Even so, few players carry the same appeal as Machado, who hit
.259/.310/.471 with 33 homers and 95 RBIs in 156 games for the Orioles
last season. His name Mickey Mantle Authentic Jersey has been mentioned often in the Bronx over the last several years, and
the Yankees are expected to be among Machado's most ardent suitors in an
impressive free-agent class next offseason that could also see
Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper on the move.
NEW YORK -- There were two weeks remaining until Opening Day 2017 when
bad news forced the Yankees to adjust one of their stars' travel
itineraries. Didi Gregorius was boarding a flight in Los Angeles, where
he'd injured his right shoulder playing in a World Baseball Classic
exhibition.
Ronald Torreyes Didi Gregorius Authentic Jersey would fill in admirably while the Yankees waited for their starting
shortstop, but behind closed doors, there were members of the coaching
staff who lobbied for Gleyber Torres to leap from Class A Advanced ball
to the Majors.
General manager Brian Cashman resisted the temptation to make such an
aggressive promotion then, but as the Yankees look to plug vacancies at
both second and third base for this upcoming season, there is a
legitimate chance that they begin 2018 with the 21-year-old Torres --
currently rated as the game's No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline -- playing a
key role.
"They wanted him," Cashman said. "I can understand why, but you take
careful steps when you have that type of ceiling. At that age, he had
never played in cold weather in his career. I didn't want him drinking
out of a fire hose in April."
