The New York Yankees need to find a replacement for infielder Gleyber Torres. Torres bolted this offseason in favor of a deal with the Detroit Tigers, leaving the Yankees with a hole at second base.
While the Yankees were rumored to be pursuing expensive players like Alex Bregman and Nolan Arenado, that may not be the case anymore.
Zachary Rotman of FanSided recently predicted the Yankees to “cheap out” as they look to add an infielder and replace Torres.

“First and foremost, the only way they appear to be willing to add a needle-moving infielder would be if they’re able to trade Marcus Stroman and save money on the $18.3 million he’s owed in 2025,” Rotman wrote. “Trading Stroman and not having to eat the entire contract is absolutely a possibility with starting pitching being as in demand as it is, but the fact that they have to trade Stroman just to bring in an infielder is pretty telling.”
Rotman also cited a report by Jon Heyman of the New York Post in which Heyman indicated the Yankees would only pursue Bregman or Arenado if they can trade Marcus Stroman and his contract.
New York has already coughed up quite a bit of money this winter, so it would be a bit surprising to see the Yankees pursue an expensive infielder like Bregman. The former Astros third baseman is projected to land a contract in the $200 million range.
If Arenado is willing to waive his no-trade clause for the Yankees, which has been a problem in the past, the Gold Glove third baseman would be a huge upgrade for the Bronx Bombers.
