In a recent column for The Athletic, the former MLB general manager, who did work for Yankees GM Brian Cashman, floated the idea that New York “will have interest” in the two-time All-Star third baseman. But unless something changes dramatically, that interest may be purely theoretical.

As fate would have it, the New York Yankees could fill their glaring need at third base next offseason by resolving their differences with an old foe. Ranking

The New York Yankees are linked to signing a star player from a rival team to bolster their infield in free agency.

The New York Yankees did not address their need for a third baseman last winter. However, they could fill the hole in the hot corner this year.

On Wednesday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic named the Yankees as one of the top free-agent fits for Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman, who has an opt-out in his deal after year one of a three-year, $120 million contract.

Instead of accepting Detroit’s more traditional long-term offer this past offseason, Bregman went for Boston’s short-term, high value, opt-out laden deal. That’s paid off mightily so far.

Alex Bregman has gotten off to a strong start this season, and a former baseball general manager believes he will opt out at the end of the year.
