Yankees DFA $90M Batting Champion LeMahieu Amid Infield Shift
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, several teams are weighing strategic moves to bolster their rosters ahead of the postseason. The Kansas City Royals, currently 45-48 and four games out of a Wild Card spot, face uncertainty in their roster decisions; they may consider trading 2024 All-Star Seth Lugo to the Houston Astros, who seek to strengthen their pitching rotation. Meanwhile, the Royals could also target Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis García, whose power and defensive skills remain valuable despite recent performance dips. The New York Yankees have designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, potentially allowing him to elect free agency, as they adjust their infield by moving Jazz Chisholm back to second base to address defensive needs. The Rangers, though struggling offensively despite a strong lineup, have relied heavily on their pitching staff and might pursue offensive upgrades by targeting players like Jarren Duran and Josh Naylor to complement their pitching strengths. These developments underscore the dynamic and competitive nature of the AL playoff race, with teams positioning themselves through trades and roster adjustments to maximize their postseason potential.
