However, general manager Brian Cashman also needs to fill a hole at first base after declining Anthony Rizzo&#8217;s 2025 club option. Could Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy D\u00edaz be a solution for the Bombers?<\/p>\n<p>That area of the diamond was essentially a black hole for New York in 2024. Five different players combined to be worth -1.1 WAR at first base, according to FanGraphs. Only three other teams \u2013 the Houston Astros, Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds \u2013 were worse.<\/p>\n<p>D\u00edaz&#8217;s 2024 performance took a slight step back after posting a .932 OPS and winning a Silver Slugger Award in 2023, but he&#8217;d still be a huge upgrade for the Yankees. He slashed .281\/.341\/.414 with 14 home runs and 65 RBI in 621 plate appearances for the Rays.<\/p>\n<p>Would Tampa Bay be open to trading D\u00edaz within the American League East? It&#8217;s likely possible if the price is right. The Athletic&#8217;s Jim Bowden discussed what New York might have to offer to get something done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In return, the Rays might be able to land two prospects such as speedy center fielder Brando Mayea and righty Zach Messinger, who could develop into a back-of-the-rotation starter,&#8221; Bowden wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Landing D\u00edaz would provide the Yankees with an affordable multi-year solution for first base. He&#8217;s entering the final guaranteed season of a three-year, $24 million deal in 2025 and will earn $10 million next season. There is also a $12 million club option in place for 2026, which would be the right-handed hitter&#8217;s age-34 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees are busy trying to re-sign outfielder Juan Soto to a big-money deal.
