NJ Advance Media | Brendan Kuty: DJ LeMahieu is, pretty clearly, the man of the moment in the Yankees universe. Well, you know that since he appears on the news almost every day. He was a vital piece of the Bombers’ lineup the last couple of years but is now a free agent. On Friday, Bob Nightengale reported that he wanted a five-year, $100 million contract while the Yankees were offering four and $75 million. Kuty is now reporting that a source of Nightengale’s report told him that the gap between the two parties is
more than $25 million and that while “the years are right,” the money is “wrong.” Other teams may be starting to have increased chances of landing the talented infielder.
