The New York Yankees have expressed interest in a trade for Texas Rangers shortstop
Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The slick fielder may be expendable now that Texas has added both
Marcus Semien and
Corey Seager in free agency. New York has also been connected to free agent shortstop
Andrelton Simmons. The Yankees had been speculated as a potential landing spot for one of the top free agent shortstops, of which
Carlos Correa,
Trevor Story, and
Chris Taylor remain, but it now appears they will not make such a splash unless contract demands decrease. Prospects Anthony Volpe and
Oswald Peraza lurk in the minors as potential shortstops of the future, and
Gio Urshela and
Gleyber Torres remain fallback options on the Yankees roster.
