Yankees Consider Hoskins for Lineup Depth

The New York Yankees could bolster their lineup by signing Rhys Hoskins to a one-year, $7.5 million deal. Hoskins, a right-handed power hitter, has a strong track record against left-handed pitchers, which would pair well with Ben Rices struggles in this area. Despite underperforming in his previous deal, Hoskins past home run pop and lifetime .820 OPS make him an intriguing low-risk, high-reward option. This move would optimize matchups without breaking the bank, as the Yankees already re-signed Amed Rosario and have time left in the winter to make bolder swings.
