The New York Yankees are in a horrible 're on the verge of being swept by the New York Mets, of all rivals, while in the midst of a 6 game losing streak. They've lost 7 of 9 overall after dropping their late-June series to the Cincinnati Reds, and at just 48-41 overall they've lost control over the AL East to the Toronto Blue 've also identified a hole in their infield mix, too. Namely, it's whichever of 3B2B that Jazz Chisholm isn't currently manning that day, as injuries and the steep decline of DJ LeMahieu have left them in a pinch at that 's quite likely they'll take a bigger flier on a player as the July trade deadline creeps forward, as they are the New York Yankees, after all Jonathan Schoop Jersey. For the time being, though, they're going to turn their eyes to Jeimer Candelario as a potential reclamation project after the former Reds infielder cleared waivers earlier in the Yanks and Candelario agreed to a minor league deal over the holiday weekend, as Conor Foley of YES signed Jeimer Candelario to a minor league deal, the RailRiders say Jake Rogers Jersey. Conor 'll turn 32 in November, and he's not too far removed from a 121 OPS+ he posted between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs back in 2023. There obviously was ample production there at one point, and the Yankees are betting small on its return after the Reds big bet on it went sour Mickey Stanley Jersey. That said, Statcast metrics that already showed steep decline in 2024 looked even worse at the outset of this season, so there's a very, very good chance he's cooked at this juncture of his career.
