Cone said the Yankees must decide whether to look for an elite shortstop on the market or a defender who will give the prospects they have in their minor league system time to develop. "Their pitching is among the best, but if they make the right decisions to fill out the infield, we'll see the club compete for a spot in the next playoffs," he said in an interview with nj.com.
Yankees are eyeing Eric Chavez's replacement
The Yankees are interested in hiring former MLB player Mark Trumbo to join manager Aaron Boone's staff as an assistant hitting coach, according to a report by Kristie Arckert of the New York Daily News.
However, there are reports that he "doesn't seem right now" to be interested in taking the job, as he is enjoying his post-retirement MLB life with his family and "would have to have a very good offer to get away from home." ".
Catcher Sean Murphy interests club management
Before the MLB work stoppage began, Yankees management inquired about the availability of catcher Sean Murphy, according to a report by Ken Rosenthal, who says he will be a target for the club again after the strike.
"When they talked about Matt Olson and Matt Chapman with the A's, they also mentioned Murphy, who has better defense than Gary Sanchez and a bat that could do more damage than Kyle Higashioka. I wouldn't be surprised to see him involved in a trade package before start the season", details Rosenthal in his report.
