3 possible landing spots for Freddie Freeman
By David Hill
New York Yankees
In theory, first base should not be that much of a concern for the New York Yankees. They already have Luke Voit on the roster and under team control for the next three years.
However, the Yankees are ready to move on from Voit. They had brought Anthony Rizzo in at the trade deadline and could look to continue that relationship. Or, they could look to make a splash this offseason and bring in Freddie Freeman.
Freeman would bring balance to a lineup that is currently very right handed. Joey Gallo is the only projected regular who is a left handed hitter, making Freeman’s bat all the more important. He would also add a strong defensive presence at first, something that has been lacking over the years.
He would also be more than just an improvement in the lineup. Freeman would be a sign that the Yankees are actually trying to contend in 2022. They have made more news for the players that they have let go from their 40 man roster than for any signings that they have made. The fanbase is getting impatient.
Next. Rizzo could be the Braves' backup plan. dark
The New York Yankees need to actually do something to improve their lineup. Adding Freddie Freeman to the roster would be a major boost to their chances.
