The New York Yankees are facing some intriguing positional battles this spring training, particularly at third base. With DJ LeMahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza all vying for the spot, the stakes couldn't be higher. LeMahieu, despite his past accolades, is coming off a rough season and has struggled to justify his hefty contract. Can he bounce back and reclaim his former glory, or is it time for the Yankees to look elsewhere?
Cabrera and Peraza both have potential but come with their own sets of questions. Cabrera has shown flashes of brilliance but lacks consistency, while Peraza's minor league success hasn't yet translated to the big leagues. If neither player steps up, could we see the Yankees make a bold move for a star like Nolan Arenado?
This situation raises some compelling questions:
What do you think the Yankees should do if LeMahieu continues to struggle? Should they stick with him in hopes of a turnaround, or is it time to hand the reins to a younger player?
And what about the backup catcher position? With candidates like Ben Rice, Alex Jackson, and J.C. Escarra, who do you think has the best chance to secure the role?
As the Yankees aim for another World Series run, how crucial do you think these positional battles will be in determining their success this season?
