D.J. LeMahieu Is Staying With the Yankees on a $90 Million Deal
LeMahieu got a six-year contract that lets the Yankees avoid the luxury tax for now. The team also agreed to a deal with Corey Kluber, an ace starter undone by injuries the past two seasons.

When the Yankees signed D.J. LeMahieu to a two-year $24 million deal before the 2019 season, some people in baseball were puzzled. How would the Gold Glove-winning second baseman fit among their glut of infielders?
FLUSHING, N.Y., January 7, 2021 The New York Mets today announced that they have acquired four-time All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor and RHP Carlos Carrasco from Cleveland in exchange for infielder Amed Rosario, infielder Andrés Giménez, minor league RHP Josh Wolf and minor league outfielder Isaiah Greene.
Lindor, 27, is a four-time All-Star (2016–2019), a two-time Gold Glove Award winner (2016, 2019), including the American League Platinum Glove for the best overall defender in 2016 and a two-time Silver Slugger (2017, 2018).
The 5–11, 190-pounder ranks third in the majors with 258 extra-base hits since 2017. He ranks third in runs scored (359), fifth in hits (592), tied for 12th in homers (111) and 17th in stolen bases (68) during that span.
