Wrc 9 career starter upgrades2/13/2024 Photo by Michael Zagaris/Oakland Athletics/Getty ImagesĢ023 Statistics: 62 games, 228 PA. Enter, perhaps, an old friend, in the form of Gio Urshela, who’s reached free agency for the first time in his career at age 32. And even if he isn’t moved, the Yankees might still have some hesitance about handing him all 600 of the Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson plate appearances that need to be replaced next year. It’s only a little extra help, but history dictates that the Yankees will be able to use what he has to offer, given that Rizzo and LeMahieu probably can’t be relied on for a full healthy season at this point, and that any significant trade could very well see Peraza on the move. It’s too late to fully rectify what was a clear mistake in essentially exchanging Urshela for Josh Donaldson after 2021, but bringing the third baseman back on a small-time deal could be helpful in filling the numerous bottom-of-the-roster holes that have sprung up since that unfortunate deal. Fortunately for the Yankees, a sizable infield upgrade isn’t near the top of their list of offseason needs, what with Gleyber Torres manning the keystone for another year, Anthony Volpe ascendant at shortstop, Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu still under contract, and Oswald Peraza and Oswaldo Cabrera waiting in the wings. Even amidst one of the weakest free agent classes in years, the list of available infield upgrades available outside the trade market is one of the worst in recent memory.
