Yankees First Base Conundrum: Is Cashman Playing 4D Chess or Just Overthinking It?
The Yankees' first base situation is getting interesting. They're reportedly eyeing big names like Alonso and Walker, haggling with the Cubs over Bellinger, and even considering Santana, Naylor, or Lowe as backup plans. Is this classic Cashman due diligence, or are the Yankees spreading themselves too thin?
Bellinger to the Bronx seems like a perfect fit on paper, but the salary standoff with the Cubs raises eyebrows. Is Cashman willing to overpay for a bounce-back candidate, or will the Cubs blink first? What’s the real holdup here – money, prospects, or something else entirely?
Santana offers a Gold Glove and surprising pop for his age, but is he a reliable long-term solution? Naylor and Lowe present intriguing trade targets, but at what cost? Would the Guardians or Rangers really part with key players, and are the Yankees prepared to meet their asking price?
This begs the bigger question: what's the Yankees' true first base strategy? Are they aiming for a high-risk, high-reward move, or a more conservative approach? Is there a dark horse candidate we haven't considered yet? Let's hear your bold predictions and hot takes!
