The New York Yankees could be potential buyers for Trevor Story because they are in desperate need of a long-term answer at shortstop, and they seem to want to play Gleyber Torres at second base moving forward.

New York does have experienced players to trade, as well as a deep farm system to dip into if they wanted to deal prospects instead.

The Yankees are going to need to fill the big hole that DJ LeMehieu is going to leave if he does not re-sign with New York. Story would help fill that hole. He is great defensively and has a ton of power.

Story, a two-time Silver Slugger is one of the best power hitting shortstops in the majors. His numbers since his debut below will speak for themselves.

2016: 97 games, 27 home runs, 21 doubles, 8 stolen bases
2017: 145 games, 24 home runs, 32 doubles, 7 stolen bases
2018: 157 games, 37 home runs, 42 doubles, 27 stolen bases
2019: 145 games, 35 home runs, 38 doubles, 23 stolen bases
2020: 59 games, 11 home runs, 13 doubles, 15 stolen bases

Some might say that Story’s stats are skewed due to Coors Field, but his bat in Yankee Stadium would be explosive. He would fit well batting third in their lineup.
