He pitches that the Cubs should go after infielder DJ LeMahieu, and that it’s a deal the Yankees could be interested in: ”With the Yankees trying to re-sign Aaron Judgethey’ll need to cut salary elsewhere, and LeMahieu could be available for a relatively low cost.”
If the clubs were to work something out, this would be LeMahieu’s second stint with the Cubs. The 34-year-Old was picked by Chicago in the second round of the – Star selections, and the 2016 National League batting title with the Rockies.

LeMahieu signed with the Yankees in 2019. This year, he became the first recipient of the American League Gold Glove Award for a utility player. He slashed .261/.357/.377 with 12 homers and 46 RBI while batting a toe injury.
