Insider drops Alex Bregman Yankees truth bomb while revealing Corey Seager concern appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Yankees have been mentioned as a potential trade destination for Corey Seager this offseason. Trading for Seager wouldn’t be easy, but it would give New York a veteran left-handed slugger with a high ceiling. MLB insider Joel Sherman believes Seager’s injury history would make a trade quite risky, however. Sherman believes the Yankees should have signed Alex Bregman last offseason before he ultimately agreed to join the Chicago Cubs.

“They just blew it last year. Alex Bregman should have been a Yankee,” Sherman said on The Show with Joel Sherman & Jon Heyman, via New York Post Sports. “Alex Bregman is a born winner. He’s never not been in the postseason. They should have gotten over the 2017 stuff and just spent some of the money and answered it.
“My concern on Seager is this: He’s entering his age 32 season with five years left (on his contract)… Seager has been on the IL nine times over the last four years. He’s been on it three times in each of the last two.”

Seager has been limited to exactly 102 games played in each of the past two seasons. He’s under contract through 2031. His Texas Rangers have been rather mediocre since winning the 2023 World Series, so the idea of trading the shortstop has been rumored throughout the offseason so far.
Sherman clearly has concerns about the possible deal from the Yankees’ perspective. Bregman, meanwhile, is certainly not a trade candidate. He’s one of the better players for a talented Cubs team and is under contract through 2030.
