For years, the Yankees have refused to sign free agents at the Second stop.
For what? Obviously, in the Bronx, it seems to believe that it would be illogical to put as much money in a position where Anthony Volpe has the potential to evolve for many years. And this, even if it would not be a crime to send it to the second goal …
All that to say that even if Volpe is there, he is in his third year and he has not proven that he can be a star in major baseball. It may be, but it is not certain.
And on this subject, It is interesting to confirm That during the dead season, the Yankees jased in Willy Adames, who was the big fish at the stop a clip on the autonomy market in 2024-2025.
The main interested party has always had in high esteem Derek to throw away and play in his place would have been an honor for him.
So the question we ask is the following: did he go close to signing in New York instead of signing a contract of $ 182 million over seven years to spend the next years of his career with the Giants of San Francisco?
What you need to know is that it is a matter of timing. He wanted to sign quickly (he signed in early December) during the dead season and the Yankees could not sign him before knowing what was going on with Juan Soto.
So despite a good meeting between the bombers and the player, it was not really a possibility.
Having Adames at the Cop-Court in Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. by his side would have made the Yankees dangerous. I say that despite the start of the season of Chisholm Jr. and Adames because the Yankees have a hole at the forefront.
That said, instead, the Yankees have signed Max Fried … and on the sidelines of the injury of Gerrit Cole, the club can have lucky to have it.
