Jonathan Villar would be in the Yankees’ plans for the 2022 season, should the team fail to sign Trevor Story or Carlos Correa in free agency, an analysis by Yahoo Sports revealed.
Villar, who could also play in the outfield, would be a valuable asset to manager Aaron Boone, “as he’s a good base runner, something the club has lacked since they let Tyler Wade go. Plus, he knows well. the American League East, where he has played for the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays and has known New York City since his recent time with the Mets. “
Although Anthony Rizzo showed his willingness to return to the Yankees by 2022, the Bronx team would have to win the bidding war against the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves, who expressed to the player’s agent their desire to sign him before the work stoppage , according to a report from nj.com.
Of the three scenarios, the only one that Rizzo is guaranteed to have a leading role is New York, “since with the Marlins he would be a kind of mentor to the rookies and in the Braves, with Freddie Freeman or not, they would have a role of half time at first base. “
