The New York Yankees lost second baseman Gleyber Torres in free agency last offseason, and they didn’t adequately replace him. A lot of Yankees fans didn’t see the loss of Torres as a huge subtraction from the team, given his mediocre production over the last few years, but New York didn’t add anybody to replace him.
The fact that the Yankees didn’t add somebody to replace Torres has just become a much bigger issue for the Bronx Bombers.
New York recently lost infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the injured list for a serious oblique injury. This could sideline him for upward of a month, with the timetable for a return being a bit foggy right now.

Now the Yankees’ infield issue has become much worse.
This leaves the Yankees with Oswaldo Cabrera starting at third base and prospect Jorbit Vivas starting at second base. It’s not exactly the ideal pair of infielders for the Yankees, especially if Chisholm misses upward of a month or two.
The Bronx Bombers will need to turn to the trade block in order to fill this gaping hole in the roster. Somebody like Nolan Arenado would be a huge addition, but it seems quite unlikely at this point.
New York may need to get quite creative in the coming weeks. If it doesn’t, the Boston Red Sox or Toronto Blue Jays could gain serious ground in the loaded American League East.
