The ten-year main leaguer then accepted a minor league pact with the Yankees, who’ve been sometimes taking part in Chisholm at third and seeing how a lot LeMahieu has left at second.
“A man with a extremely good observe file,” Boone stated of Candelario, a standout as lately as 2023, when he completed with an .807 OPS mixed with the Nationals and Cubs. “Struggled somewhat bit with some accidents this 12 months. Up and down somewhat bit final 12 months season-wise. However a man that’s all the time been a fairly good hitter on this league, a fairly good participant on this league.”
