Overview
- Reporting on Nov. 11–12 put the New York Yankees among teams being floated as suitors for Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and cited MLB insider Jon Heyman saying the Yankees could move him to third base.
- The Rangers are expected to explore trade options for Seager so he is considered available on the market rather than already traded.
- Seager has roughly five years and about $157 million left on his contract, and his no‑trade clause means he would likely need to approve any deal.
- Durability is a major concern because Seager was limited to 102 games in each of the past two seasons, a factor that would raise the cost for any team trading for him.
- Analysts note Seager’s left‑handed swing could boost power at Yankee Stadium, but a trade would depend on the Yankees’ roster choices, payroll willingness and timing in a compressed offseason.
