1 former player the Yankees, Red Sox and Astros could use in 2023

Every offseason, there is bound to be change in any sport, no matter how the previous season went. During free agency, teams have tough decisions to make when it comes to their own free agents and whether or not to bring back them or risk losing them.

That was the case last offseason with several big-name free agents. In a lot of cases, their 2022 team let the players hit free agency and they found a new home for this season and beyond. As always, there is a big risk in letting players walk and trying to replace them

In some cases, teams have been able to replace some of their losses, while others are still trying to find a replacement for a player they lost. As the season goes along, there are always teams who see the player perform for another team better than they did theirs or they start having injuries or lack of pitching or offense leads to a team saying, “I wish we had him back this year.’’

Again, it’s easy to second guess a decision after the fact and that will always be the case in every sport. Early this season, there are some teams that are sitting behind closed doors inside their front offices who wish they had a player or two back that would be beneficial to their team now.

Here are three players with a new team in 2023 that their former team from last season could use back right now and they need may be regretting letting them go.
