Yankees Eye Brandon Lowe for Infield Upgrade This Offseason

The New York Yankees are looking to enhance their infield during the upcoming offseason. With Jazz Chisholm Jr. having a disappointing season, the team may choose to part ways with him, while Anthony Volpe is expected to step in as a potential starter after showing improvement following his recall from Triple-A.

A significant concern for the Yankees lies at third base, where Ryan McMahon has underperformed offensively. The team is contemplating moving Volpe to third base and seeking a second baseman to fill the gap. Brandon Lowe, a two-time All-Star previously with the Tampa Bay Rays, has emerged as a prime candidate. He boasts a strong defensive record and has hit 66 home runs over the past two seasons, with a batting average of .258.

While adding Lowe could provide the Yankees with a powerful presence at second base, there are risks involved, particularly given his past performance at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are familiar with Lowe's capabilities from his time in Tampa Bay and are keen to bring him on board.
