Since revamping his swing Urshela has slashed 314/355/534/889 in 2019 and 298/368/490/858 in 2020. I can't speak for the Yankees, but if I ran that franchise there's no way in hell that I'm trading a GG caliber 3B that hits like that. I doubt I would trade Urshela straight up for Lindor when you factor in cost and control. If the Yankees would do that then I would be all in, but you sure as hell ain't getting anything else in return. They would trade Torres and another piece for Lindor before they would give up Urshela I suspect. God Bless Andy Martino, but he's lost his marbles if he thinks that will happen.
I don't believe that Ramirez will be moved off of 3B. It just doesn't make sense with the current roster make up.
Since I agree with you on this, it must be true since we never seem to agree lol
Torres has 187 innings at 3B in the minors, nothing in the majors. He actually isn't even great at 2B but not horrible there like he is at SS. DJ is a very good (Gold glove caliber) at 2B, while Urshela a Gold glove caliber 3B. Putting Lindor in that INF, would be very good for the Yankees on paper.
Now on the flip side, Torres is 23, DJ is 32 and Urshela just hit 29. DJ is a free agent, while Urshela has three years of team control. DJ is a better short term 2B than Torres, but Torres has a good 8-9 years left in his prime plus a good bat. Just where to play him will be the Yankees issue.
