we have a massive New York Yankees free agency update as Jeff Ban has revealed the Yankees are trying to make a major trade that could have a huge impact on the season as Brian Cashman continues to work the phones and try to make as good of a baseball team possible especially after the departure of Juan soda where we’ve seen Cashman be active and we’re going to break it all down what’s up guys welcome back to Yankees digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into things as we usually do and if you guys like the content make sure to subscribe 133% of people watching this are currently subscribed let’s fill that number out it helps a lot it’s the season of giving toss your subscription over we promise it is a winwin for you guys to get great Yankees content it also helps us out which would be nice but look Jeff Ban has revealed that the New York Yankees obviously as we know the New York Yankees are really really working hard to continue to solidify their baseball team now right now it’s full infield all just full infield that’s what they’re looking at they have the Outfield set most likely being Cody Bellinger Aaron judge and Jason Dominguez meanwhile first base and third base are still questions as you have to imagine Jazz chism’s going to move to second base while also the Yankees could use another bat with contact or some sort and while Jeff Ban broke down some guys who were very available for trade and the Yankees are going to be one of the teams interested as pan said for teams in search of an outfield bat Starling Marte Lane Thomas Mike YY yesr yes I you know I I’m sorry guys Taylor Ward are all there to be had and then other options include Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor who’s availability along with San Francisco’s Lamont Wade Jr and Texas’s Nathaniel Lao all further muddies a crowded first base free agent Market while Angel’s utility man Lis rifo and Minnesota catcher Christian vquez are also available for trades now look we’re going to talk about some of these names two in this video specifically and you probably saw at least one of them if not both in the thumbnail so let’s go with that first things first Luis rang heo if you guys have been subscribed to the channel for a while you might remember that Luis rang heo was someone who I talked about a lot towards the trade deadline in case you guys don’t remember here’s a little just reminder that the Yankees were interested in R rank heo before as mentioned by Haymon on July 30th at the deadline the Yankees are interested in and Yandy Diaz someone who that they are still interested in Luis Rango then guys like Tanner Scott Peter Fairbanks you know there’s a lot of that but the bullpen is less of an issue now especially after acquiring Devin Williams and still them trying to resign guys like Tommy kanley and Tim Hill so right now the Yankees are looking at the infield Yandy Diaz is still an option for the New York Yankees I don’t exactly think the Yankees will acquire him but he is someone who the Yankees are looking at I do think Christian Walker is still going to be the guy but the Yankees showed interest in Luis rifo who we talked about a lot and let’s bring that conversation back look Luis rang heo is just the perfect fit for the New York Yankees looking at rang heo he is a two War which is fine it comes with the batting average batting 300 he’s a good Fielder he does not have power in the bat but he gives you a leadoff hitter that would be very very helpful and we’ve seen Luis Rango just consistently get better as time has went on Riva is a very talented player who could play second base third base or shortstop meaning he could also play first base because if you can the other three infield positions you could certainly play first now R heo had a 763 Ops so it’s not it was Far and Away above average but it was above average and his Ops plus was quite good so there is that to be happy with he got 85 hits and 283 at bats batting exactly 300 while getting 30 RBI and also 24 stolen bases now he only has 42 stolen bases on his career so what we’ve seen is Rango just consistently get better and better he’s on the upswing he’s only 27 years old but he’s been in the MLB since he was 22 so he has a few years of experience down and the New York Yankees they need a leadoff hitter and also a third baseman Luis rang heo kills two birds with one stone right here you can get rang heo you can stick him at third or second if you want to keep Jaz at third but jazz is such a good Fielder you got to put him at second base like it just makes no sense not to why not like you keep Jazz at second or you move jazz to Second and you put rang heo at third at least that’s what I would want to do but you have that down and then you get an awesome contact bat Lu rifo who’s gotten better at something every season as mentioned here by Virginia Yankee one of my favorite Yankees Twitter accounts Luis Rango has such a weird stat sheet one year he wakes up and starts walking the next year he wakes up and starts swiping bags look I mean Luis Rango 24 stolen bases after two years of six so he’s getting out there he’s stealing bases he’s not a power hitter but he is starting like look at his on base percentage just consistently go up every sing single year outside of his rookie year where he didn’t play a whole lot but not really the point like you see the on base percentage since 2020 it’s just consistently gotten better Luis ranga was on track to still get better and get on base more and more and give the Yankees what they need in a leadoff hitter Rango gives them a leadoff bat that they could use and then go to Cody Bellinger or Jaz Chism as your second hole hitter then Aaron judge then Austin Wells then Stanton then the other one of Binger or Chism I’d imagine it’d be Chism and that Bellinger will bat second but then you got Jazz Chism there batting sixth then you have vulpi still and like Jason Dominguez So you you’re going to be able to go back and forth Dominguez or vulpi will probably bat ninth I would guess Dominguez after um Bellinger or Jazz doesn’t make the most sense I could see Jason batting eighth and then you just need a seven hole hitter who you’ll who will be whoever the hell your first baseman is if that first baseman is a righty he’ll certainly bat there if he’s a lefty then he’ll probably bat uh eighth and Dominguez will be seventh or maybe VY will be seventh because he’s got more time played but look essentially the Yankees getting ring heo solidifies an awesome top six to where you still can go out and make a signing and get a solid first baseman on top of everything else so then you have an awesome awesome awesome batting lineup on top of that your pitching rotation will be downright nasty you’ll have I mean Roki Sasaki is not likely going to be a Yankee but there is a real chance he signs with the New York Yankees but even without it having that rotation of Garrett Cole Max freed Clark Schmidt Luis heel Carlos rodon I don’t know why I say Clark schi third but either way all five of them are very high caliber pitchers at this point Marcus strowman is most likely going to be traded and we will get some more strowman talk in here eventually not in this video though but Rango is a guy who just getting him this lineup helps the Yankees so much Rango is a right-handed batter so it just it just adds up perfectly for him to be the lead off hitter on this Yankees team and not have that drastic of a change outside of the fact that you don’t have woto but Cody Bellinger will definitely benefit off the Aaron judge protection as Bellinger’s good at taking pitches so and he’s a lefty I think it works beautifully getting Rango for the Yankees is just such a steal now we also have someone else to talk about in that low Nathaniel low has been I mean first of all he’s a left-handed batter so that that would just be cool to have another first baseman who’s a left-handed hitter above average Fielder solid Ops good Ops plus career average and season average of 120 where the average is 100 so great showing there he has been a Silver Slugger in the past he’s a World Series champion he’s a gold Glover and he just solidifies your first base for the next two years now Lowe’s on a 2-year deal so this is what makes it interesting we know the Yankees want to move Aaron judge to first base and not the long-term future so you look at that and you decide okay two years in that low we let him walk Aaron judge becomes the first baseman it works out really well you get a left-handed guy there and as I said if your if your first baseman is a lefty the lineup switches a little bit and look he’s not the contact hitter ring heo is so he wouldn’t be the lead off the Yankees would still be looking for a leadoff while they probably experiment with guys like Anthony vulpi and like Jason Dominguez in that leadoff spot like how they started the year with vuli and then how Dominguez did it once or twice and Dominguez might be the guy for the job but you look at the Yankees you look at Nathaniel low he he is someone who adds something special to your lineup as a left-handed hitter who can get some good hits on top of that he’s just a good Fielder very very solid piece would fit into the Yankees very well goes to a winning team where he knows that he could perform he performed very well for the Texas Rangers when they won the World Series it just is a signing or a trade that would make perfect sense either one of these trades make perfect sense for the New York New York Yankees now I will tell you right now I am a fan of Luis Rango that is what I want the New York Yankees to go after I do not expect Brian Cashman to go all out for rang heo and I know batting average is a dated stat I understand that I’m being kind of a boomer right here but I genuinely do believe that Luis Rango solves so many problems for the Yankees as then the one position you have to fill out is first base and you already have guys on the team like Cody Bellinger who could step up and do the role you have DJ lahu who can come in and do the role you have Oswaldo Cabrera who can come in and and do that role you could put Bellinger there sometimes and have Trent Grisham on the lineup and put him in center field some games like there’s a lot of things the New York Yankees can do to make this work out but I do really think that Luis Rango is your guy because then the only problem you have to solve is first base and since Luis Rango is not getting paid a ton of money it gives you all the reason in the world to still go out there and try to get Pete Alonzo who then makes a ton more sense as you’re not really short on contact anymore and you get another Power bat something the Yankees I mean it wouldn’t hurt for the Yankees to get a tad more power or you could go out there and get Christian Walker solve your first base problem for three years awesome signing that as well it probably be a three-year deal with an OP out after two years or something like that but it would be a very good signing for the Yankees regardless I think rank heo opens the door for so many moves for the Yankees that I think that’s your guy hopefully the Yankees go after him but I do want to know who you guys think between these two players if you could only trade for one who would you pick pick and also out of this list who do you want to see the Yankees go after do you like the rang heo idea do you not like it let me know down below like this
