Yankees Mean Business with DJ LeMahieu Move

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees shocked the world of baseball this afternoon when they announced the decision to designate infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment. The decision came after LaMahieu was benched — a decision he was very unhappy with, according to reports — in favor of moving Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second. As the trade deadline approaches, this decision makes one thing abundantly clear: the Yankees are not playing around. Utility man and typical third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera is out for possibly the entire season after suffering a left ankle fracture in May. While New York had been playing Chisholm at third, he’s really best at second base, evidenced by his performance in Tuesday night’s dominant 10-3 victory against the Seattle Mariners.
