The New York Yankees made perhaps the most dramatic roster move of their season on Wednesday when they designated veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu for assignment.
Jon Morosi of MLB Network speculated on Thursday that the Seattle Mariners could be a potential fit for LeMahieu, who had a 91 OPS+ through 45 games this season.
The New York Yankees designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, cutting him loose with nearly two years left on his deal.
In LeMahieu’s first four years as a Yankee, he hit .296 with an .806 OPS in 470 games. Over his past three, as his body betrayed him, he hit .237 with a .665 OPS in 248 games.
The Yankees moved on from DJ LeMahieu Wednesday when the veteran infielder was designated for assignement with about $22 million left on a six-year contract.
Aaron Boone announced that LeMahieu is no longer viewed as an everyday player. The veteran was not pleased about the change.
The New York Yankees could soon cut ties with their infield veteran after a demotion solicited a "not great" reaction.
