Overview

  • New York finalized the contract on Dec. 30, announcing a one-year major league deal for 2026 worth $2.5 million.
  • Rosario, 30, offers multi-position coverage at shortstop, second, third and right field and could be deployed in platoon situations, including at third with Ryan McMahon.
  • He hit .302 with an .819 OPS against left-handers in 2025 and batted .303 over 16 games for the Yankees after a July trade from Washington.
  • Starting shortstop Anthony Volpe is expected to open 2026 on the injured list following October labrum surgery, increasing the need for infield depth.
  • The signing fits a low-cost, short-term pattern as the Yankees emphasize internal and familiar additions this offseason.
