Brendan Duty of The Athletic reported Verdugo has yet to receive a single major league contract offer. The fact that Verdugo remains unsigned has utterly shocked his former manager Aaron Boone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe a little bit surprised because he&#8217;s without question a big-league player and a big-league starting player, for me,&#8221; Boone was quoted as saying. &#8220;It just probably hasn&#8217;t lined up money-wise and team-wise and need-wise, but he was great with us.&#8221; Yankees captain Aaron Judge also shared his confusion in this development. &#8220;I am surprised,&#8221; Judge said, according to Duty. &#8220;He&#8217;s such a great player. He brings so much value and versatility to a team.&#8221; With the backing of seemingly the entire coaching staff and locker room paired with the Giancarlo Stanton-sized hole in the designated hitter spot, the Yankees could look to reunite with Verdugo this season.<\/p>\n<p>Stanton&#8217;s potentially looking at a season-ending injury. Adding Verdugo to replace him might not be the worst option. Let me explain. Obviously the 28-year-old has the backing of Boone and Judge. Adding him wouldn&#8217;t stick him in the DH slot for 162 games like Stanton&#8217;s role. Adding him would allow the Yankees to be more flexible with their outfield. This could turn the DH slot into a makeshift off day for players like Judge and Jasson Dominguez. It won&#8217;t come at the price tag Spotrac put on him before the offseason (four years, $60 million), but a one year deal worth around $10 million could be in play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees decided to move on from outfielder Alex Verdugo this offseason and the former Yankee has yet to sign a contract to play elsewhere&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":42382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
