Overview

  • New York officially announced Rosario's one-year Major League contract on Tuesday, with multiple outlets reporting the value at $2.5 million.
  • Manager Aaron Boone may deploy Rosario around the infield and outfield, with the possibility of a third-base platoon alongside left-handed hitter Ryan McMahon.
  • Rosario posted a .303 average in 16 games for the Yankees in 2025 and excelled versus left-handed pitching, hitting .302 with an .819 OPS last season.
  • With Volpe recovering from October labrum surgery and expected back no earlier than May, José Caballero is likely to handle shortstop early in the season.
  • General manager Brian Cashman has emphasized adding right-handed bats to balance a left-leaning lineup, and Rosario's return aligns with the club's low-cost, short-term offseason moves.
