Juan Soto

SD Left Fielder #22

SNY’s Andy Martino says the Padres and Yankees have exchanged names on potential players in a Juan Soto trade but that nothing is close to happening.

The names of Anthony Volpe, Jasson Dominguez, Clarke Schmidt and Michael King have apparently been brought up. With the Padres hoping to contend next year, an ideal return would feature a quality young rotation option along with another significant talent. Still, it’s unclear just how much the Padres can really hope for here, given that Soto will make $30 million-$35 million next season and will be a free agent afterwards.
Shohei Ohtani

FA Starting Pitcher #17

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports the Dodgers, Giants, Cubs, Padres, Rangers, Red Sox and Yankees have been linked to free agent two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Heyman elaborates that the Dodgers, Giants and Cubs are believed to be “going big” in the Ohtani sweepstakes. He also adds that the Angels are “waiting and praying” they’ll have a chance to re-sign him. There’s been very little reliable information leaking out so far regarding the 25-year-old unanimous American League MVP Award winner’s free agency plans, and it could take a few weeks, if not months, before he makes his final decision.
Brad Ausmus

NYY Bench Coach

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports the Yankees have hired Brad Ausmus as their next bench coach.

Ausmus joins Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s staff after spending the last two years in the Athletics’ organization split between a bench coach and front office role. the 54-year-old former big leaguer lasted one season as Angels manager back in 2019 and also had a four-year stint at the helm for the Tigers from 2014-2017.
Yerry De Los Santos

NYY Relief Pitcher #57

Yankees signed RHP Yerry De Los Santos to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 25-year-old right-hander was removed from the Pirates’ 40-man roster in early November, then refused his outright assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis to explore the free agent market. He actually did a nice job for the Pirates at the big league level in 2023 — posting a 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and an 18/13 K/BB ratio over 24 1/3 innings in 22 appearances. With a strong showing in Grapefruit League play, he could push for a spot in the Yankees’ Opening Day bullpen.
Jung Hoo Lee

INT Outfielder

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Giants and Yankees are among the teams expected to pursue outfielder Jung Hoo Lee once he is posted by the Kiwoon Heroes of the Korea Baseball Organization.

After being named as the Most Valuable Player of the Korea Baseball Organization in 2022, the 25-year-old outfielder his .318/.406/.455 with six long balls, 45 RBI and six stolen bases across 387 plate appearances before an ankle injury ended his 2023 campaign prematurely. MLBTradeRumors.com projects Lee to eventually land a five-year contract in the neighborhood of $50 million.
Lou Trivino

FA Relief Pitcher #56

Yankees non-tendered RHP Lou Trivino.

Trivino had Tommy John surgery in May and figures to miss at least the first two months of next season. The former A’s closer had a 1.66 ERA in 25 appearances after being acquired along with Frankie Montas in 2022. However, since that time as a closer drove up his salary and he would have made at least $4 million in arbitration, the Yankees decided to let him go.
Anthony Misiewicz

FA Relief Pitcher #65

Yankees non-tendered LHP Anthony Misiewicz.

Misiewicz made eight appearances for the Diamondbacks, one of the Tigers and three for the Yankees in a forgettable season. The lefty has a 4.71 ERA in 130 lifetime appearances since debuting with the Mariners in 2020.
Albert Abreu

FA Relief Pitcher #84

Yankees non-tendered RHP Albert Abreu.

Abreu showed some promise when healthy in 2022, but he had a 4.73 ERA before finishing up on the IL with a hamstring strain last season. Throw in that he’s out of options, and it’s easy to see why the Yankees made this call. Still, his arm might net him a major league deal elsewhere.
Brian Sánchez

NYY Outfielder

Yankees acquired OF Brian Sánchez from the Brewers in the Jake Bauers trade.

Sánchez made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League and posted a promising .297/.414/.446 batting line in 128 plate appearances. He’s only 19 years old and qualifies as a lottery ticket for the Yankees.
Manuel Margot

TB Center Fielder #13

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Yankees “have engaged the Rays in multiple conversations this offseason” about outfielder Manuel Margot.

According to Rosenthal, the Rays are speaking to other teams about the 29-year-old Margot as well. Margot remains a strong speed and defense asset but he does bat right-handed, and the Yankees’ preference is for left-handed hitters. Further complicating things is that Margot has averaged 104 games the past three seasons. He dealt with hamstring problems in both 2021 and ‘22, a right knee sprain in ‘22 and also underwent surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow last Aug. 15. Margot is under contract for $10 million in 2024 with a $12 million mutual option for ‘25.
