Yankees could make splash move to upgrade third base

With much attention centered around potential outfield acquisitions, the New York Yankees might consider addressing the third base position. This move follows the premature end of the season for Josh Donaldson due to a calf muscle tear.

At the age of 37, Donaldson concludes his stint with the Yankees with a .142 batting average and a .225 OBP this season, alongside 10 homers and 15 RBIs. In his absence, 23-year-old Oswald Peraza has been given some golden opportunities, posting a .184 batting average and a .344 OBP, along with five RBIs over 18 games.

Could Jeimer Candelario Be the Answer?
