One MLB insider has labeled the New York Yankees as a potential fit for a Eugenio Suarez trade ahead of the deadline.

The New York Yankees designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, cutting him loose with nearly two years left on his deal.

The New York Yankees are moving on from DJ LeMahieu after nearly seven years with the team. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Yankees have designated LeMahieu for assignment with $22 million left on his contract.

Aaron Judge was disappointed to see D.J. LeMahieu depart New York this week, and the Yankees captain also addressed rumors that he helped the veteran infielder remain on the roster last year.

LeMahieu was clogging up second base in New York, which needed to be opened up for Jazz Chisholm Jr. to return to his natural position. The Yankees didn't think LeMahieu could handle third, so they cut him loose and ate the last $22 million on his contract.

Rookie Cam Schlittler was crowned the Yankees’ fastball king, overpowering the Mariners over 5.2 innings in a 9-6 victory. The 22-year-old righthander topped out at 100-mph in his major league debut. No Yankee has thrown a triple-digit fastball since Aroldis Chapman in 2022.

The New York Yankees moved Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base and, as a result, DJ LeMahieu to the bench. He is not pleased with the move.

The Yankees pulled the plug on The Machine, designating DJ LeMahieu for assignment on Wednesday. The two-time batting champ, still owed about $22 million through next season, was then released on Thursday.
