Remember the spark Alex Verdugo brought to the Yankees early on? We all loved it! His energy was electric, the kind of vibe you wish you could bottle up. But let’s be honest, the flame kind of fizzled as the season went on... we all saw it live. Still, Verdugo remains a solid player with loads to prove. If you haven’t already, check out our piece I LOVE THE BALLS ON ALEX VERDUGO on Bleeding Yankee Blue. It's a must-read!
Now, here’s the juicy part: a couple of teams are really starting to sniff around Verdugo, eager to bring his spark to their roster.
The San Diego Padres are predicted to be in the mix for Verdugo. After a somewhat disappointing offseason, missing out on stars like Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott (ouch), they’re keen to make some moves. Losing out to their NL West rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, stings a bit, doesn’t it? I still think the Dodgers did something shady. Maybe that's just me.
The Padres are in a bit of a belt-tightening phase, saying “no thanks” to Jurickson Profar. That leaves some space in their outfield, and Verdugo could be the perfect fit. An affordable left-handed bat? Yes, please!
But hold up—the Pirates might just be the best fit for Verdugo. Pittsburgh is brewing something interesting with Andrew McCutchen’s return, and Verdugo could be the cherry on top. He’s still young, has a decent postseason resume, and won’t break the bank. A one-year deal could be just what the Pirates need and exactly what Verdugo wants to prove his worth.
So, stay tuned—wherever Verdugo lands, he’s sure to bring the energy we all know and appreciate.
