Part 6/10:
Cashman also hinted at the possibility of external signings, referencing Jazz Chisholm and other potential infielders, indicating a willingness to explore options outside of the current roster. His comments bore an air of caution though, as he addressed the uncertainty surrounding these decisions while emphasizing the need to remain proactive rather than complacent.
Addressing the First Base Dilemma
Although Boone and Cashman sketched a hopeful outline of internal talent, there lingered an unaddressed need for a dedicated first baseman. As per Cashman’s remarks, the Yankees need to consider bringing in an experienced player—possibly on a one-year contract—to solidify this position. Names like Carlos Santana have been mentioned as viable options.
