The New York Yankees made perhaps the most dramatic roster move of their season on Wednesday when they designated veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment.
Jon Morosi of MLB Network speculated on Thursday that the Seattle Mariners could be a potential fit for LeMahieu, who had a 91 OPS+ through 45 games this season.
Aaron Boone announced that LeMahieu is no longer viewed as an everyday player. The veteran was not pleased about the change.
The New York Yankees designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, cutting him loose with nearly two years left on his deal.
The New York Yankees could soon cut ties with their infield veteran after a demotion solicited a "not great" reaction.
Rookie Cam Schlittler was crowned the Yankees’ fastball king, overpowering the Mariners over 5.2 innings in a 9-6 victory. The 22-year-old righthander topped out at 100-mph in his major league debut. No Yankee has thrown a triple-digit fastball since Aroldis Chapman in 2022.
