New York Yankees\u00a0<\/a>general manager Brian Cashman has proven why he’s considered one of the best GM’s in all of baseball this offseason.<\/p>\n

Ever since the Juan Soto sweepstakes went south last month, Cashman has rebounded by making several signings and trades that have made the Yankees appear to be a better team on paper than they were one season ago.<\/p>\n

Still, there are some\u00a0holes in New York’s roster<\/a>\u00a0that will likely need addressing before the season begins. One of these holes is the biggest question that The Athletic MLB insider Jim Bowden had for the team in a\u00a0January 10 article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If they follow through and move Chisholm to second base, will they get enough production from third base with some type of platoon between DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera?” Bowden wrote.<\/p>\n

“LeMahieu has struggled to stay healthy and Cabrera profiles more as a utility player. The Yankees don\u2019t appear to have enough left in the budget to make a run at free agent Alex Bregman and are concerned about the decline of Nolan Arenado.”<\/p>\n
