After seeing Andrelton Simmons sign in Chicago, the Yankees see another deep option leaving the available player market.
Shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa is going the way of the Twins, as is pitcher Ronny Henriquez. Mitch Garver takes the opposite path.
Rangers had little room for Kiner-Falefa at shortstop following two big Ranger signings, Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. You could think he was going to play third base, especially on the sidelines of the injury of hope Josh Jung.
But eventually, he leaves for Minnesota, which lost Andrelton Simmons yesterday via the free agent market.
The Yankees had those two options in their sights as gap between the present and the arrival of hopes. Is this another hint that the Yankees will sign a big name like Carlos Correa?
The market is about to explode, I can feel it.
