Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Yankees are targeting first baseman Christian Walker.
Now that the Yankees know that Juan Soto will be playing a few miles down the road, New York will be targeting a few bats to help replace that production, including Walker. The 33-year-old is now only a power threat who has hit 95 homers over the last three seasons, but he’s an excellent defender at first base; a position the Yankees have a clear need at. There will be other competitors for Walker’s services, but on paper, this is a pretty strong fit.
