Is Josh Naylor the Answer at First for the Yankees?
The Yankees face a potential infield shakeup with Rizzo and Torres testing free agency. While big names like Alonso and Walker are available, a trade for Cleveland’s Josh Naylor presents an intriguing alternative. Naylor’s breakout 31-homer season certainly makes him appealing, but is a one-year rental worth the prospect capital? The proposed package of Smith and Vivas seems reasonable, but are the Yankees better off investing in a long-term solution at first? Considering Naylor’s projected $14.2 million salary for 2025, is he a financially sound option?
Furthermore, the past friction between Naylor and Cole adds another layer of complexity. While professional athletes are expected to put differences aside, can this potential locker room dynamic be overlooked? How much weight should the Yankees put on this incident when making their decision?
What are your thoughts on this potential trade? Is Naylor a good fit for the Yankees? What other options should they be exploring at first base? Let the debate begin!
