That outfield alignment allows the Yankees to give Aaron Judge regular at-bats as a designated hitter. Veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt also figures to earn regular time at DH if Stanton misses time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Marte noted\u00a0that he is content with his current role on the Mets and how transparent the team was about trying to trade him after signing Juan Soto. With Soto, Marte figures to be a designated hitter, but his bat has lost some power.<\/p>\n<p>Marte is a two-time All-Star and produced for the Mets in 2024. He signed a four-year, $78 million deal in 2022. If he is fine as a bench player on the Mets, the Yankees could bring him in to play a significant role while Stanton recovers, then move him to the bench. He would still get the opportunity to play in the outfield in the Bronx as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees will potentially be without Giancarlo Stanton to start the season.
