Will the Yankees go after one of the best third basemen in Major League Baseball?

“ Chapman is the best pure infielder who is available ... one team I’m watching very carefully on Chapman: the New York Yankees,” Morosi said on MLB Network. “Third base for them has been a bit of a revolving door the last year-plus. Donaldson was in and out, LeMahieu played some third base, he had a bit of a down offensive year. Chapman is someone who posts, and the Yankees need someone at that position who posts.

Morosi notes that Chapman didn’t have a great offensive season after mid-May . But his defensive prowess makes him an attractive free agent for any team looking for a third baseman.He was picked by the A’s in the first round of the 2014 draft, making his major-league debut in 2017. Since Oakland traded Toronto before the 2022 season, he has slashed .234/.327/.429.
