"In 50 games this year, LeMahieu led the majors with a career-high batting average of .364. He also won the National League title while with the Rockies in 2016, hitting .348.
Now, with his ability to play first, second and third having been demonstrated, LeMahieu’s versatility and having proven he can hit outside the hitter-friendly confines of Colorado’s Coors Field, the 32-year-old is going to get about $20 million a year for at least three years, two American League executives and two agents agreed.
And LeMahieu has many more suitors than when the Yankees took advantage of his down market in 2018.
With the Yankees having made clear that they wanted to get under the $210 million luxury tax threshold even before managing partner Hal Steinbrenner publicly claimed the team lost the most money in baseball with the coronavirus pandemic-abbreviated season, that doesn’t give the Bombers much payroll flexibility to work with."
We all agree he's the best player on the Yankees.
We all agree he's in demand.
Now compare 3/$60 to the other players on the Yankees.
Compare 3/$60 to similar players throughout baseball.
Something in the logic is not synching up.
