Yankees consider moves to upgrade third base for next season

The New York Yankees are evaluating options for a third baseman after struggling with Ryan McMahon, who has a.211 batting average since joining the team. McMahon is due $16 million next season before hitting free agency, and the Yankees are open to trading him if they can absorb part of his salary. Potential replacements include Teruaki Sato, with Alec Bohm as another candidate should Sato sign elsewhere. Bohm has shown power hitting 15 home runs this season and ended the year strong, which could enhance his appeal to the Yankees.
