DJ LeMahieu, who became a standout infielder during his time in the Mile High City, was outright released by the New York Yankees after his injuries and declining performance caused the AL contenders to pull the plug on his tenure. It’s not clear what’s next for the two-time batting champion. It’s hard to put anything past this franchise, especially when it comes to the current reality of their situation where they are well on their way to setting Major League Baseball history with the most losses in a single regular season of all time. Perhaps the ownership group views bringing back their past fan favorite as something that extends an olive branch to the fanbase.
