Paul DeJong opted out of his minor league contract with the Yankees, becoming a free agent. He has a .203 batting average in Triple-A but has hit six homers. The Yankees signed him as a depth option while Anthony Volpe recovered from surgery. With Volpe's return and other infield options available, DeJong's chances for promotion diminished. DeJong is a veteran shortstop with a career .229 batting average and significant power, having played nine major league seasons. He may find opportunities with teams needing infield help.
"DeJong is only hitting .203 in Triple-A, but he's clobbered six homers in and walked at a 19% clip in 83 plate appearances, leaving him with an overall .203/.361/.516 batting line (127 wRC+)."
"A veteran of nine big league seasons, DeJong is a slick fielding, right-handed hitting shortstop who's capable of playing anywhere on the infield."
"There are plenty of teams with starting infielders on the shelf at the moment, which could lead to a new opportunity for DeJong."
