IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW... THERE ARE INFIELDERS STILL AVAILABLE

If the Yankees were in the market for an infielder—which, based on Aaron Boone’s recent comments, doesn’t seem to be the case—there are still several intriguing options available. While they may not be aggressively pursuing help in this area, it’s worth considering what’s left on the market in case plans change.

Here are some remaining free agent infield options for the Yankees. One name that has surfaced in connection with the Yankees is Brendan Rodgers, the former Colorado Rockies infielder who was non-tendered earlier this offseason. Rodgers primarily plays second base and even has a Gold Glove to his name, but defensive metrics on him are somewhat inconsistent. While he’s a solid option, signing him and keeping Jazz Chisholm at third base doesn’t seem like the kind of move that would significantly improve the roster.

Beyond Rodgers, there are still a handful of infielders available who could provide depth and versatility. José Iglesias, who was a key contributor for the 2024 Mets, remains unsigned. Yoán Moncada is also still on the market, though injuries and inconsistency have limited his appeal. A particularly interesting option is Kiké Hernández, who now finds himself without a clear role in Los Angeles after the Dodgers went on a major spending spree. Hernández offers defensive versatility, postseason experience, and a reliable clubhouse presence, making him an appealing fit for a team like the Yankees. Given the lack of playing time he would probably get in LA, he could be looking for a better opportunity elsewhere. Right now, he seems like one of the better choices still available—especially after the Rays signed Ha-Seong Kim, who would have been my top pick.

Another potential route the Yankees could explore is a trade for Luis Arráez. The rumors surrounding a possible deal for Arráez have been gaining traction in recent weeks. While he may not be the most well-rounded player, his offensive production is undeniable—he’s a three-time batting champion, after all. That said, it’s becoming harder to see a realistic scenario where Arráez ends up in the Bronx, and the Yankees don’t seem poised to make a big push for him.

Ultimately, while there are still options on the market, the Yankees’ infield situation doesn’t seem like an area they’re aggressively looking to upgrade. But if that stance changes, Hernández might be the best fit among the remaining free agents, with Rodgers as a backup option. My opinion of course.
