Yankees Plan Internal Competition for Third Base

As the New York Yankees approach spring training, they are facing uncertainty at third base, with general manager Brian Cashman indicating a preference for internal options over external signings. The candidates for the position include Oswaldo Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu, Oswald Peraza, and newcomer Jorbit Vivas, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. may also play a role, potentially splitting time between second and third base. LeMahieu's recent performance has raised concerns, as he struggled offensively last season after a series of injuries, while Peraza's offensive reliability remains unproven. Cabrera, despite not being a perfect fit, may be the safest option due to his consistent contact hitting. Cashman has expressed confidence that one of these candidates could emerge as a solid solution, but he is also keeping an eye on the marketplace for potential trades or signings. The Yankees appear committed to evaluating their internal talent before making any further moves.
