Yankees Urged to Consider Seager at Third Base

A proposed solution to the Yankees’ third-base needs would involve a major position change: pursuing Texas Rangers star shortstop Corey Seager and shifting him to third. The idea was presented as a long shot, but as a way to look beyond the team’s most obvious outside options.

The proposal argued that the available choices at third base might not significantly improve the team. It also contended that the Yankees should be seeking more offense, rather than treating their need for a hitter as less pressing.

The suggestion pointed to the Yankees’ history of making a comparable move, including one involving Texas, as a reason the Seager plan was worth considering. No details about a possible deal or the Rangers’ willingness to trade him were provided.
