But, he has struggled to produce and stay healthy. Now, MLB insider Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com predicts New York will move on from the four-time Gold Glover winner and three-time All-Star in LeMahieu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re guessing the Yankees move on from LeMahieu, despite the $30 million he\u2019s still owed through 2026,\u201d Caldera\u00a0wrote. \u201cAs for Torres, his postseason success might lead to signing a multi-year deal on a new team.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>LeMahieu has been hampered by injuries in his stint with the Yankees. He played just 67 games this past season. He also\u00a0didn\u2019t appear in a postseason game\u00a0for New York during its run to the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>However, DFA\u2019ing LeMahieu would be costly as he still has two years left on his deal. He\u2019s owed $15 million in 2025 and 2026, but Caldera expects the Yankees to move on from former star third baseman.<\/p>\n<h2>LeMahieu\u2019s Injury History Could End Yankees Tenure<\/h2>\n<p>LeMahieu was supposed to be an impactful free agent with the Yankees but he has failed to live up to the expectations.<\/p>\n<p>A key reason for this has been the injuries, and when LeMahieu was placed on the IL at the beginning of September, it seemingly ended his season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been something that\u2019s been kind of lingering the last couple of weeks,\u201d Yankees manager Aaron Boone\u00a0said on September 9. \u201cHe\u2019s been getting treatment on it. It\u2019s better some days, worse the others. Just something that\u2019s been kind of lingering for a few weeks now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone also said he wasn\u2019t sure when the injury to LeMahieu happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if it was (anything) initial,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just part of, he\u2019s obviously had core surgery in the past. Obviously the different things that have happened to him. Fouling the ball off his shin and the stuff that\u2019s going on with his feet. It could just be the result of the wear and tear and the rigors of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, due to LeMahieu struggling to stay healthy, New York could move on from him an view him as a sunk cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Jazz Chisholm Jr. Has Replaced LeMahieu<\/h2>\n<p>Another reason why New York may opt to move on from LeMahieu is because of the emergence of\u00a0Jazz Chisholm Jr.\u00a0at third base.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees acquired Chisholm Jr. at the trade deadline and the team moved him to third base. Chisholm Jr. hadn\u2019t played third base before but in\u00a045 games he showed some promise, despite making 7 errors.<\/p>\n<p>Boone said throughout the season that Chisholm Jr. was getting better at the position and felt the more he played there, the better he\u2019d be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is a rep thin. Then talking through situations (about) some of the nuance things of the position,\u201d Boone\u00a0said. \u201cThird base \u2014 take it from me who played that most all my life \u2014 it\u2019s that position that because you\u2019re on the left side of the diamond, you sometimes don\u2019t have the time to read. You gotta get that initial read right where you can get yourself into a little bit of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, he\u2019s done really well. But that\u2019s an experience thing of making that quick, proper decision that starts with a good pre-pitch (setup),\u201d Boone added.<\/p>\n<p>Chisholm Jr.\u00a0is under contract through 2026 through arbitration with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyInsider expects Yankees to move on from DJ LeMahieu.
