Latest MLB News and Rumors | Yankees don’t forget Andrelton Simmons, Chris Paddack and more

The New York Yankees have not yet announced their decision regarding starting shortstop in the 2022 season in the MLB.

The lockout of Big leagues has delayed the resolution of this unknown, in which there are several possible scenarios.

An analysis by Joel Sherman for the New York Post suggests that the Yankees could look for a defensive-oriented shortstop, like the veteran free agent Andrelton Simmons. This would be a stopgap solution until prospects Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe are ready to play in the majors.

Sherman adds that the Yankees haven’t publicly disclosed their shortstop plan for the upcoming 2022 season. It’s unclear if they’ll make a big financial commitment to top free agents. Sherman is concerned that Peraza, who was added to the 40-man roster, could be affected by a truncated spring training.
