Yankees Release DJ LeMahieu, Seek Roster Upgrades

News summary

The New York Yankees have officially released veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu, ending his seven-year tenure with the club and making him a free agent despite nearly $22 million remaining on his contract. LeMahieu, a two-time batting champion, was released due to injuries and declining production. General Manager Brian Cashman and Manager Aaron Boone cited performance concerns and the need for roster upgrades as key reasons for the move. The Yankees are now targeting improvements at third base, starting pitching, and the bullpen ahead of the trade deadline, with Arizona's Eugenio Suárez listed among potential options. Ex-players and analysts have largely supported the decision, reflecting the team's win-now approach. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners have emerged as a possible destination for LeMahieu.
