During the broadcast of a program on MLB Network, the former general manager of the Mets, Steve Phillips, said the Yankees should definitely re-sign DJ LeMahieu, As he has made it clear to be the team’s top hitter in the last two years.
The former executive also opined around the figure that the Bronx board should offer to LeMahieu for him to agree to wear the striped uniform again. According to Phillips, New York has to pay on the All-Star playing field about $ 72 million for four years.
If we consider the amount that DJLM and its representative agency are supposed to demand, the offer Phillips is proposing would be well below what LeMahieu is asking for, the player would be asking for a contract above the $ 100 million greenback.
It is worth mentioning that “LeMachine”, as the 32-year veteran is also known, earned $ 24 million for the two seasons he played with New York, but given his tremendous numbers on the offensive, the its commercial value rose considerably as it is at its best since playing in the Great Tent.
