The New York Yankees need to strengthen the outfield for next season, taking into account that in 2023 they suffered with the replacement when Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge were on the injured list.
The Yankees have been monitoring Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who is coming off a good season with the Arizona Rattlers, to the point where he played in the World Series, in which his team lost to the Texas Rangers 4-1.

The Cuban is a free agent and in 2024, according to the Spotrac site, he should earn an average of 14.6 million dollars. This can fit into New York’s budget without problems and would play a fundamental role in the team.
Although New York wants to add a left-handed outfielder, with the interest they have shown in Juan Soto or Cody Bellinger, the truth is that Gurriel Jr. would be a cheaper option if they were unable to secure either of these two sinisters.
The island patrolman finished last season with an average of .261/.309/.463, 35 doubles, 24 home runs and 82 RBIs with Arizona, being invited to his first All-Star Game in his 6-year career in the Major Leagues.
