The New York Yankees are seeking a new first baseman after declining Anthony Rizzo's option for 2025. They are considering Tampa Bay Rays player Yandy Díaz as a potential replacement. Díaz had a solid 2024 season, hitting .281 with 14 home runs and 65 RBIs. He is entering the final year of a three-year, $24 million contract, making him an affordable option for the Yankees. The Rays may be open to trading Díaz within the American League East if the Yankees offer the right prospects. This could include players like center fielder Brando Mayea and pitcher Zach Messinger.
