Pick a cliche to stay positive, Yankees fans.
Yes, I understand the contract talks between the Yankees front office and DJ LeMahieu are not going great for the Bronx Bombers. NJ Advance Media’s Brendan Kuty reported on a large gap (more than $25 million).
Further context has been added by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, who says LeMahieu will “start engaging with other teams.” ESPN’s Jeff Passan is hearing that LeMahieu will “strongly consider” other offers. The longer LeMahieu stays on the open market, the more likely it becomes that a team will swoop in and steal one of the league’s best hitters away from the Yankees.
