See this picture above? This is the Yankees future shortstop. This is the future of the New York Yankees. I believe that. So far this is what we know. Aledmys Diaz has worked out for the Cardinals and is expected to receive and offer “soon" from them.
Yesterday, the Yankees were reportedly watching him in a workout as well. I have nothing on that and don't believe the hype in today's papers... that info will come out later today. No one truly knows anything at this moment on the Yankees and Diaz, other than to report that the Yanks are very, very interested and the suggestion of "a contract negotiation is not out of the question right now between the 2 parties." No doubt the Yankees will be eager to try and fill the void of Derek Jeter after the 2014 season, so this is important to them… don’t get it twisted.
Jaime Torres is the Diaz agent and knows his client is going to be something big, saying: " "We know he's going to be in the major leagues... It's only a matter of time. His preference is shortstop, but he's played second and third and I'm sure would be comfortable playing whatever position is necessary."
The Blue Jays saw Diaz last week and said this according to Sportsnet.ca:
"...Diaz worked out privately for the Toronto Blue Jays last weekend, an industry source told Sportsnet, although a union between the two doesn’t appear imminent..."
I found this video of what appears to be Diaz...
The Yankees do not want to let this one go. He reminds me of Derek Jeter.
Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen... this could be the biggest fish yet...
