The New York Yankees may be considering a shift in their offseason strategy, potentially prioritizing an offensive-minded infielder like Bo Bichette over big-name outfielders like Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker. This move could provide a more substantial long-term boost to the roster, despite potential defensive concerns. Bichettes offensive prowess could be a significant upgrade, but his defensive limitations might lead to a position change, possibly to second base. The Yankees are also considering giving current shortstop Anthony Volpe another chance, making the decision between Bichette and Volpe an intriguing dilemma. Ultimately, adding Bichettes offensive capabilities would be a positive move, even if it means accepting average defense at an infield position.
