ANOTHER RUMOR. THIS TIME INVOLVING LUX

The Yankees' offseason is in full swing, and it’s shaping up to be less about actual decisions and more about a never-ending stream of infielder rumors. If you believe every report, the Yankees are on the verge of acquiring just about every infielder known to man. It’s a rumor fest, a clickbait bonanza, and frankly, a little exhausting. Still, I like it.

The Yankees have an infield hole that could be filled at second or third base, depending on where they decide to play Jazz Chisholm Jr. in 2025. Reports suggest Chisholm might move back to his natural second base position following Gleyber Torres’ departure. Sounds simple enough, right? But where’s the fun in simple when you can have a full-blown rumor extravaganza?

Despite having DJ LeMahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera, and Oswald Peraza ready to step in, the media won’t rest until every infielder with a pulse is linked to the Yankees. Enter Gavin Lux, because apparently, no offseason would be complete without his name being thrown into the mix or second base or left field.

Sources claim the Yankees showed interest in Lux weeks ago—because old news is still news when it comes to Yankees rumors. Lux could be a sensible trade option, especially since the Dodgers just signed Hyeseong Kim from the KBO. But who needs sensibility when you can have endless speculation?

Lux, 27, brings two years of cheap team control and a career .252 average with 28 home runs and 155 RBIs. A left-handed bat to balance the lineup? Sure, it makes sense. But will it happen? Who knows! What we do know is that the rumor mill will keep churning, providing plenty of fodder for fans and pundits alike.

It’s a comedy, a circus, and a never-ending source of amusement for anyone following the Yankees when it comes to the sports media. And until something is finalized, we’ll keep refreshing our feeds, waiting for the next big (or small) name to be linked to the Bronx Bombers.

Fun stuff, stay tuned.
