The New York Yankees announced Thursday that infielder DJ LeMahieu has been released, making him a free agent and ending his seven-season tenure in the Bronx.
The New York Yankees have their sights set on a dramatic overhaul after moving on from their veteran infielder.
DJ LeMahieu saw his time with the New York Yankees come to an end this week after he was DFA'd and released, but he is still owed roughly $22 million.
Rookie Cam Schlittler was crowned the Yankees’ fastball king, overpowering the Mariners over 5.2 innings in a 9-6 victory. The 22-year-old righthander topped out at 100-mph in his major league debut. No Yankee has thrown a triple-digit fastball since Aroldis Chapman in 2022.
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. On the one hand, the move wasn't much of a surprise as LeMahieu has struggled to effectively man an infield position this year.
