New York Yankees

It’s been no secret that the New York Yankees were not happy about the defense that Miguel Andujar provided at third base. In their final game of the season, he didn’t even make it onto the field. Maybe they feel that a change at third base is needed and maybe another deal with the Seattle Mariners for Seager is the answer.

Now, part of this to help offset the salary of Seager would be to take back Jacoby Ellsbury‘s deal and provide some money to even it out, Maybe if they do this, they can get a prospect from the Yankees back in order to continue their rebuilding process.

Defensively, Andujar was a -23 DRS , while Seager was a -5 last year. Even if Seager remained a -5, that’s still an 18 run improvement defensively from last season. Seager would also provide some left-handed thump that will be missing Didi Gregorius for a good chunk of the 2019 season.

Now this only happens if they decide to either deal Andujar, fail to sign Manny Machado or make Andujar a first baseman.

These teams make deals all the time, so maybe they can do another this off-season.
