Yankees may go for an All-Star level infielder to address their offensive problems Befor….

Despite being among the finest teams in baseball this season, the New York Yankees have a number of weaknesses in their roster. Severe problems with their infield are a major factor in their recent losing streak of 11 out of the previous 15.

With a.630 OPS this season, Anthony Rizzo is presently sidelined due to an arm fracture. His replacement, Ben Rice, is hitting.643 overall. Utility player Oswaldo Cabrera (.623), second baseman Gleyber Torres (.646), and third baseman DJ LeMahieu (.467) have all had terrible struggles thus far. The Yankees’ infield issue doesn’t appear to have any internal fixes.

The Yankees may be forced by that circumstance to enter the trade market and acquire one or two elite infielders. Luis Rengifo of the Los Angeles Angels is undoubtedly one of them.

Rengifo has demonstrated that he possesses the power to hit 15 to 20 home runs a year. In addition, he is smashing a scorching.317/.362/.446 in 2024, registering a.808 OPS, six home runs, 24 RBI, 11 doubles, and 36 runs, making it one of his best seasons to date in his young career.
