The New York Yankees are considering Yoán Moncada for acquisition as Jazz Chisholm transitions to third base upon return from injury. While Moncada's current .228 batting average is underwhelming, he boasts five home runs and a .812 OPS this season, hinting at a rebound. However, his fit in the Yankees' infield is complicated due to existing solid players in other positions, and his transition to a lesser role will be challenging. The Angels may part ways with Moncada as they struggle at 25-30, emphasizing their trade considerations before the deadline.
All signs currently point to New York Yankees slugger Jazz Chisholm playing third base, not second, when he returns from an oblique injury next month.
Moncada is a veteran infielder on a one-year, prove-it deal. Historically speaking, teams around or under .500 part ways with those types of players at the deadline.
