Yankees Consider Polanco and Trade Options

The New York Yankees are actively exploring options to fill the void left at second base after Gleyber Torres' departure to the Detroit Tigers. They have shown interest in veteran infielder Jorge Polanco, who recently had knee surgery but is expected to be ready for the 2025 season. Polanco, a switch-hitter with experience at multiple infield positions, could serve as a versatile utility player for the Yankees. His 2024 performance was impacted by injury, but he has a solid career batting record with 128 home runs and 492 RBIs across 950 games. Meanwhile, the Yankees are also considering potential trades, such as moving Marcus Stroman, who could be swapped for prospects like Marco Luciano from the Giants. However, expectations for a high-value return may be unrealistic given Stroman's recent performance and contract considerations.
